We wanted
it to be fun, engaging, and hopefully well attended. By the grace of all the hard
work of all the volunteers, Heifer staff, gracious donors, dedicated
congregational and community organization supporters, and the marvelous space
that St. Mark’s United Methodist Church provided the perfect setting for the event it all came off in a spectacular fashion.
Want to see a great 3 minute video of the event? Here it is.

At our
Sacramento Heifer Volunteers' 70th Celebration, I got a larger sense of the
breadth and depth of Heifer's presence over the years. A key moment was when
the honorees from the various congregations all stood. I saw so many people
with long and strong histories of connection with Heifer. Inspiring! – Cheryl McKinney

I scanned
the room and sensed the wealth of wisdom and faithfulness among Heifer's
friends, old and new. Passing on the Gift was represented thousands of times as
these advocates for ending hunger and poverty shared the Heifer story over
many, many years. Another indication of the power that is in all of us sharing
Heifer's good news.
