Holly Brower| AIM First Coordinator |  
Holly had been looking for a place where God could use her gifts and we are so excited to have her here! She came to us from a position where she was doing the same things as what we were looking for, so she not only had the job skills, but also her friendly personality has helped here in the office to take care of the parents of AIM. She is a great addition to the team, and is so excited to be a part of a program that really helps kids find and use their gifts to glorify God!
