Each Leadership group chose a community project to Graduate from the Leadership program. The 2010 group consisted of:

• Michael L Garrard
• Cassie Hill
• Mike Higgins
• Robert Quick
• Tasha Briggs

This Leadership group chose to build an ADA accessible 600' walking path and a 33' walk bridge for the new Crawford County Forest Preserve as their project. They decided upon these projects because they felt that it is very important to experience nature for both physical and mental health reasons.

The leadership group had a fundraiser to pay for their project. Below are the donors. Thank you for all of your help!
