6th Annual Chocolate Festival

On January 17, 2009, NCO Youth & Family Services held the Sixth Annual Chocolate Festival at the Neuqua Valley Gold Campus. It was fun for all who attended. Thanks to all of our supporters this year’s Chocolate Festival was again a huge success. Over 1,200 people attended the event throughout the day and NCO was able to raise over $12,000 that will be used to continue the work we have done for 38 years. A big thank you to our Event Chair Kevin Dolan, whose hard work and support of this annual event is very much appreciated!
