Thank you to Mr. Joe Hinderks and Ms. Lisa Helms for joining our Lakeview CLC Afterschool Program on Veterans Day! They spent the afternoon sharing their incredible stories and experiences serving in the U.S. Navy, giving our students an inspiring look into courage, teamwork, and service.

We’re especially proud to say this family has deep Willard roots. Lisa’s daughters both grew up in our programs, with one part of our current Lakeview staff and the other a former team member, and Joe has had numerous other grandchildren come through our programs over the years!

Thank you, Joe and Lisa, for your service to our country and for spending your afternoon with us. You continue to make a difference in our community every day!
