Chautauqua Striders

We appreciate our mentors so much! They are really the BEST people in the world. We usually honor them at a dinner in January but since we couldn’t all gather together, we delivered gifts to them instead! Here are a few...we didn’t get pics of everyone...but we appreciate every single one and the care, guidance, support and encouragement they give to youth in our community. A big THANK YOU to the local businesses who gave monetary donations, coupons, gift cards, and treats: Slone-Melhuish Insurance, Walmart, Starbucks, Taco Bell, Red Lobster, Bair’s Pizza, Burger King, Panera, Applebee’s, AJ’s Texas Hots, Labyrinth/Brazil, Wendy’s, Sakura Buffet, Tim Horton’s, and New Creation Assembly of God church. We love our community!

Thank you, Mayor Sundquist, for this video thanking our mentors for their service! Mentors not only touch the lives of their mentees, but because their relationships enrich both of them and build bridges between different generations, cultures and walks of life, they make the whole community better and stronger! #MentoringAmplifies #MentoringMonth

The Striders team had a Thanksgiving celebration lunch and decorated the office for Christmas. Who knew bottles of hand sanitizer could be so festive? #happythanksgiving #covidchristmas
