Recognition Dinner- Jan. 21 Nearly 450 mentors, mentees, family members, and school staff enjoyed an evening of good food, good friends, and much laughter. Matt McKay, KFRX, was a big hit as the master of ceremonies, and Joe Moglia, former CEO of TD Ameritrade, shared a message that moved the crowd. Read excerpts from award winners.
