Holidays, changes and time off!

Tomorrow we will celebrate the holiday season at our annual Christmas party and are so excited to see everyone attending! We filled EVERY SPOT! Wowza! It's going to be awesome. After tomorrow Utah Easy to Love will be taking the remainder of December off to spend time with our families through the Holidays. We will make an effort to answer pressing questions or concerns, but may be slow in our response.
A recap of the year...

Our art program with UMOCA was amazing! We will be meeting with Jared and their educational director to work out a schedule for 2015! Stay tuned.

We had an AMAZING turn out for our special needs Easter Scavenger hunt, and even better feedback. We cannot wait to do this again for our awesome families!

Super fun giveaways on Facebook... more to come in 2015

E2L held our 3rd Annual parent retreat in Kaysville, this will continue being an annual event but we will be making changes to the format. It will be better than ever!

We held our biggest fundraiser to date! Our first annual charity glow ball golf tournament at Swan Lakes golf course was a HUGE success!

Had a fun day indoor rock climbing with SPLORE (stay tuned for another round!)

Held an awesome clothing drive for families raising children with special needs, everyone was so awesome in helping us spread the word and get donations together. We were able to help a lot of families get ready for the winter season! Big thanks to KONA karate for their sponsorship and help pulling this together.

We lost one and gained one. Co-Founder and President Jennifer Levy moved to California the beginning of December. She will continue on the board and be involved from a far - but we will miss her. We also added Angela to the board as well as the position of volunteer coordinator/ community liaison, she has been an amazing addition to the group and has stepped up and in to her role with Utah Easy to Love - gun blazing!

Angela put together Easy to Love's first Sub 4 Santa program this holiday season. We were able to help two families and are finishing up this week! We are so grateful to those who have pitched in for these families and cannot wait to make this a yearly program.

So there you have it! It's been a busy and awesome year and 2015 is going to be even better. Watch for additional board members, a new website, awesome groups and activities and more!!

We hope you all have a warm and happy holiday season.

Love,
