I loved working with the students and their families, but I didn\u2019t experience the full scope of what GiGi\u2019s really is. As Operations Coordinator, I\u2019ve seen remarkable people of all ages doing amazing things \u2013 from our little toddlers achieving new feats in GiGiFIT, to our older participants working hard with their tutors. From our teens connecting in Teen Tastic, to our adults skillfully running our Caf\u00e9 21. And, of course, all our volunteers who bring their energy, talent, and exuberance into this space.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether you are a family member, a participant or a volunteer, you have made GiGi\u2019s Playhouse a unique place. While I was introducing myself during my first virtual program, a participant welcomed me and explained how GiGi\u2019s is a magical place where people are like family. Let me take this opportunity to THANK YOU ALL for welcoming me so warmly to the family!\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the holiday season starts, I reflect on my one-year anniversary at GiGi\u2019s Playhouse.
