    still. Doc, how are you still younger and I'm getting older? I don't understand this. Hi everyone, my name is Reagan Weiss. I am the founder of Hub Life Charities. And once again, we had a very successful Hub Hoween this year. It's been a phenomenal collaboration with Parks and Recreation and Natural Resources. And once again, we were able to raise $25,043.43 for the county and for parks and recreation natural resources to see where that money's gonna go. I will tell you, um, broken backs, broken toes, cars broken

    down, uh things happen, but it's a it's a great event, and the smiles on the kids' faces during Hubbaween has been absolutely fantastic. So I want to get off this. I want to give it over to Marcia Alfredo. She is our Madam President of Hub Life Charities. Okay.

    Marcia

    Reagan. He does a good job at saying my last name.

    As Reagan said, my name is Marcia. I'm the president of Hub Life Charities and it's just an honor for me to be a part of such an organization and to be able to serve my county. I've lived here for over twenty years and it is my home. And um to be able to work with people of the caliber of Mark and Christina and our over two hundred volunteers that we had. Um our Hubboin is our biggest fundraiser that we do and we

    sometimes we wonder why do we do it? Why do we do it? And this is why we do it, so that we're able to give back to our community. So we want to thank you all for our the support that you give us, the community that uh the support that they give us and we're gonna keep doing it as long as we're allowed. So thank you so much.

    Rob Mahler, Superintendent for the Parks and Trails. We are very appreciative of the partnership with uh Hub. They uh they do a ton of work. We we obviously are familiar with the amount of efforts that go in for events and the amount of labor and resources that they put forth to make this thing happen. Um You know, Reagan alluded to the experiences and memories that these citizens are being able to make. Uh beyond that, when they make this contribution, we have scholarships that we're able to give out for our summer day camp programs, for aquatics, for swim lessons,

    things like that. So uh beyond the day of the event, the uh efforts that are going forth are making making differences throughout the year. So we greatly appreciate the their efforts and uh partnership.
