As the last echoes of applause fade and the final decorations are carefully packed away, we find ourselves reflecting on the grandeur of our Diamond Jubilee. Last Tuesday, we celebrated Woodhaven’s 60th anniversary, marking a significant milestone in our journey. It was the largest event we’ve ever hosted, and we are thrilled to announce that it was a resounding success.
The evening was filled with heartfelt stories from the families of our individuals, many of whom have been with us for many decades. Their words painted a vivid picture of the impact Woodhaven has had on their lives, and their stories were a testament to the love and dedication that permeates our community. We are deeply grateful to these families for sharing their experiences and for their unwavering support.
The event also showcased the talents of the wonderful individuals we serve. Their performances were a highlight of the evening, reminding us all of the incredible potential and spirit that resides within each member of our community. We are immensely proud of their achievements and were honored to share their talents with our guests.
Our silent and live auctions were a hit, with generous donations from our supporters helping us raise funds for our cause. We extend our deepest gratitude to all our donors for their contributions. Your generosity will go a long way in supporting our mission and ensuring that we can continue to provide the best care and services to our individuals.
The success of this event would not have been possible without the tireless efforts of our development team. Their dedication and hard work were evident in every aspect of the evening, from the beautiful decor to the smooth running of the program. We are incredibly fortunate to have such a committed team working behind the scenes to make our vision a reality.
We also want to express our gratitude to our volunteers, who gave their time and energy to ensure the event ran smoothly. Your assistance was invaluable, and we are deeply appreciative of your commitment to Woodhaven.
As we look back on this memorable evening, we are filled with gratitude for everyone who played a part in making our Diamond Jubilee a success. To our staff, volunteers, keynote speakers, donors, participants, performers, and everyone else who contributed in their own way – thank you. Your support and dedication are the lifeblood of Woodhaven, and we are eternally grateful.
As we close this chapter and look toward the future, we are inspired by the love and support we have received. The success of our Diamond Jubilee is a testament to the strength of our community and the power of our collective efforts. As we embark on the next 60 years, we are excited about the possibilities that lie ahead and are committed to continuing our mission of serving our residents with love, respect, and dignity.
Thank you for being a part of our journey. Here’s to many more years of Woodhaven!
