On May 10, the CalSERVES family had the privilege of commemorating our 15 year anniversary at the Arlene Francis Center in Santa Rosa. Over 100 current AmeriCorps members and staff, AmeriCorps alumni, and community supporters came to celebrate the program’s history and to welcome its future. The energy in the room was tangible as our guests caught up with each other and shared their passion for CalSERVES.

| Welcome to the Alumi Club! |
It has taken the service and dedication of thousands of AmeriCorps members and staff to make our work possible over these past 15 years. We're incredibly thankful to all who have given their time to CalSERVES, and especially grateful to the founding group that made it all possible.

| Having a great time! |
At the event, we presented the CalSERVES Community Partner Founder Award to three women who helped spark the program 15 years ago: Margo Addison, Ellen Desmond, and Emma Charlebois. We also presented Kathy Chosa with the Passion, Potential, Power award in recognition for her many years of service on staff and as an AmeriCorps member during the first program year. Last but not least, we were proud to honor our fearless leader Julie McClure, whose passion for serving students and families has and continues to empower and inspire us all to make a difference.
