The Retired Senior Volunteer Program/Volunteer Intergenerational Center held its Annual Recognition on Tuesday, April 8, 2014 at the Eagles Aeries #3775 in Cape Girardeau. Several in attendance dressed in Mardi Gras attire based on this year's theme. Jason Wray, President and CEO of Creative Edge in Jackson, provided a two-part entertainment for the event.

"This was another successful recognition," says Tina Dohogne-Nations, Executive Director of the Retired Senior Volunteer Program/Volunteer Intergenerational Center. "We again went with a new program format where fun, entertainment and great food were part of the event instead of a regimented honor recognition. Laughter and smiles were on the faces of everyone in the room."

A special thanks to Theresa Robinson of the Eagles Aeries #3775 and a heartfelt thanks to JASON WRAY for making this year's recognition a successful one.
