Martha & Tony Danced anto a New Decade
Thank you to all of our friends who came out to dance with Martha & Tony to celebrate their 70th birthday April 11th. We had a blast! When asked about his age, Tony said, "It's mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter!" State Delegates Chris Peace and Jennifer L. McClellan presented a special resolution passed by the Virginia House of Delegates to honor Martha and her work with Boaz & Ruth. Photos from the event are on our Facebook page.
