Jenny and Ashley - 2 Sides of The Same Coin
From the beginning of Exceptional Kids in 2004, Developmental Pathways has been an invaluable supporter of our program. Two of the most committed volunteers from Developmental Pathways have been Jenny and Ashley who have provided hundreds of hours of support to not only the kids, but to the parents. In addition to working at the Englewood club they helped start the Aurora club.
We salute you Jenny and Ashley.

K-Life is an organization that has been a great friend to the Exceptional Kids club. They have provided over 600 hours of volunteer effort over the past few years and have been a great source of fun and encouragement to the children who attend our programs. Below is a brief description of the K-Life organization. You can also access their website with the link above.
K-Life is a community-wide, interdenominational Christian ministry of discipleship and fellowship for youth and their families. Through a variety of activities (weekly clubs, small group Bible studies, mission trips, ski trips, and monthly events), K-Life kids grow in their faith and have lots of fun in the process. They learn that following Christ and discovering His plan for their life is the most exciting adventure of all and that they can count on friendship and support from leaders and peers who care.

A Special Tribute to Dan
Dan Russell has been helping Exceptional Kids since its beginning in 2004. He helps set up every Friday night and then returns on Saturday morning to support the children in a variety of roles. He always has a great spirit of fun and patience and will do any job asked of him. As you can see from the pictures the jobs often require a somewhat odd array of looks. Without Dan our clubs would be far less successful. Dan has made volunteering a family affair as well now that his son, son-in-law, daughter, and granddaughter regularly help us.
Thank you so much Dan.
K-Life Volunteers 2009
K-Life volunteers provided over 300 hours of service to our kids in 2009. They continue to build deeper relationships with the children and provide great role models. Thank you K-Life.
Special Thank You to Jim and Darlene Baker
Jim and Darlene have been with Exceptional Kids from the very beginning. They have not only providing great support to the children, but Jim also builds many of the pieces of equipment that the children use during the clubs. In addition, they helped to start the Colorado Springs club and volunteer there every month.
Jim and Darlene have a special place in their hearts for the club since it was inspired by their grandson Austin, who just happens to be the son of the club founders.
We could not have survived all these years without you. Thank you Jim and Darlene.
