ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
This website would not be possible without the help of many alumni contributions, from both youth and adult staff. Their contributions of photos, facts, and memories are invaluable to the memory of past Voices tours, and to future tours!
Many people have kept Voices of Youth vibrant since its inception in 1985 by Rev. Jim Perry, and many of them are chronicled on the other pages of this website. We praise God for sending His servants to make Voices a blessing to everyone involved in, or touched by, Voices of Youth.
One special person deserves recognition. She has loved Voices since becoming involved in it many years ago and has always worked quietly behind the scenes keeping the administration of Voices running like a well-oiled machine. Her name does not appear on any of the other pages of this website, but her contributions are immeasurable. She has been the steady force helping to guide and serve each team of adults, youth staff, and youth participants. So who is this person you may ask? Her name is Gail Brill and we give thanks to God every day for her willingness and dedication to serve Christ by fulfilling this critical, but largely unseen, role. Thank you Gail! We love you!
There is another person who has assisted me tremendously with graphics production for this website and recent Voices tours. He is my go-to-guy when I need someone to take an idea scratched out on paper and produce a professional end-product. So I want to thank Rick Kaplan with ECS Corporate Services, LLC for taking time out of his busy schedule to help me at the drop of a hat!
I also want to thank Lisa Carlisle with ECS Corporate Services, LLC who is my assistant who helps me track down information, keep email lists up to date, and assist in any other way needed. Thanks Lisa!
Finally, I want to thank my wife Theresa and my sons, James and Justin, for allowing me to put in many long hours developing this website!
