Executive Director Rick Del Bosque spoke at the event, emphasizing the support available to attendees.
"The majority of the folks that are here they are key cards of our city. You've got plenty of support from the city, the county, the school district and the businesses in general so we're very proud to have them."
Del Bosque said they are always looking for volunteers.
