Summary: 
What better way to show appreciation than to send our volunteers on a retreat, no more stress of the centre; Lets take care of mothers, in general, especially the single moms who I might say are doing a great job by having a day of spoiling them; kids need a break too, so send them off to the children's fringe festival
