It seems crazy to think that we are already in the process of planning our Graduation Gala for the Class of 2024 AND working now, in full recruitment mode, for new program applicants for the Class of 2025! This is an exciting time of year for the Vision Program, and we can't say enough about our Alumni who support and assist the Program in so many ways. Don't let the cold weather keep you away as we continue to raise funds for additional scholarships, share the Vision story with potential applicants, and encourage our current participants to get more connected and stay involved. I am honored to represent Vision across the community and look forward to another amazing year - TOGETHER.
Stay Warm,

Presentation Day:
One of the best (and most frustrating) parts of the Vision experience is when your team makes your Group Project Presentation.

Presentation Day will begin at 7:30 am for breakfast and 8:00 am for the first presentation. Our presentations will be for:

In Memoriam, Theresa Daly
|
|
Theresa was a participant in the graduating class of 2017. She was incredibly wise and someone who knew how to have fun and jazz things up. Theresa was a breath of fresh air with her authenticity, positivity, love for family and community, and an overall dynamic woman. Our community and organization will greatly miss her presence.

BikeWalk project
The wheels are turning on a project that connects cyclists and pedestrians to new pathways throughout St. Charles County. The new BikeWalk project fills in the gaps between networks of existing recreational trails to provide multi-use paths along main roadways, especially in western parts of the county. A public meeting about the BikeWalk project is scheduled for the evening of Wednesday, Jan. 31, at Quail Ridge Lodge. Residents can share their feedback about the plans. Read More.

Fete de Glace ... January 27, 2024
The annual ice festival is the perfect family activity. Ice carvers will fill two blocks of North Main Street. You can watch carvers bring the ephemeral art of ice carving to life with chainsaws, chisels, grinders and knives, as well as hot irons and cold spray. Each carver starts with a single block of ice weighing 260 lbs., dissects it, and reassembles it into wondrous sparkling creations. Read More.
