Family Fun Day a
Successful Event!
Thank you to all who made our 8th Annual Family Fun Day a huge success. It takes all of UMS working together to get this kind of positive result. Everything worked like clock work from start to end. A big thank you to the committee members who spearheaded this event. Without your direction and commitment, it would not have gone as smoothly as it did. Words are insufficient to convey our huge thanks to all, but may you receive even more abundant blessings for your generous spirit and time.
Sen Dankolo na Si Yu'os ma'åse'.
