Next year will be a diamond year for the Kindale Developmental Association, celebrating 60 years of making a difference for people with diverse abilities in the community.
Kindale will launch a year-long celebration with a one-of-a-kind VIP “Diamond Premier” event Saturday, Oct. 13, at 7 p.m., hosted by Diamond Sponsor Pat Loehndorf at his business, Bannister Honda.
“Pat is a long-time community leader and an advocate for stepping up and helping many non-profits with their fundraising endeavours,” said Cindy Masters of Kindale.
Added Loehndorf: “It has been fun planning for this event and putting together some things that have not been seen at other events. I am looking forward to helping Kindale continue with the good work that they do for people in the community where I live, work and play.”
