Our art classes and teachers are always so creative. Who knew you could make a turkey hat out of a paper bag! Caitlin Eastman knew!
We could not do what we do without community support, volunteers and donations. Here we are at the Apples and Crafts fair. Andrew and Ruth join the Giller Family selling donated apples from Maple Wood Farm.
Hypertherm has lots of volunteers that help Zack's Place in so many ways. Here they are at Maple Wood farm, they picked apples and organized them for the Apples and Crafts Fair. Hypertherm also helped paint the newly renovated Zack's Place.
Thank you!

Thank you to the Woodstock Inn for their constant support. Not only did they host several successful events for Zack's Place, they support our ski and golf program without any charge.
We stay limber with 2 yoga classes a week! We love all of our yoga teachers. Tita, Lalita, Jamie, Amanda and Jesse. Thank you for keeping us limber!
