We would like to send out a big thank you to the 140ish people who attended the HEY Movie Night! We appreciate the support and encouragement of the community, and the dedication of so many of the youth- especially those who were able to attend tonight. The youth involved in the HEY Project have done such a fantastic job (specifically with the films and photography projects)! It was nice to hear laughter, applause and positive comments after the "movie." We will post the photos from tonight's photo booth (likely tomorrow night). It was so great to see such a great turnout- thanks again!
