Root Center Annual Years of Service Awards

June 13, 2024

Every year, the Root Center hosts a Years of Service Awards event. This event is meant to celebrate our staff who have been with the organization for 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 years. This year, we held part of the ceremony in our beautiful Manchester Memorial Garden, and then finished with a dinner inside of our Manchester facility. We are so appreciative to have staff who have made Root a place to call home for so many years. We are so thankful for each and every person's years of dedication and efforts.

Fall at the Root Center was a season packed tight with exciting developments!
