Turtle Wing Toast a success at 12th annual event

SCHULENBURG —The Turtle Wing Foundation’s 12th annual Toast was a success.

Community members, donors, volunteers, board, families, and those who wanted to learn more about the Turtle Wing Foundation gathered at Sengelmann Hall on Thursday, Jan. 26 to “remember, rejoice, and renew” with Turtle Wing Foundation.

This year’s theme was “The Art of Turtle Wing”, and showcased how Turtle Wing individuals have learned to express themselves and “grow wings” through the arts.

The foundation said special performances by the Dancing Turtles and Ninja Turtles, inclusive dance and taekwondo classes through On Pointe Dance Studio, were a huge hit. Art created by Turtle Wing kids through the foundation partnership with Arts for Rural Texas were also on display throughout the venue.

According to a release, the organization was happy to be able to “remember” where the foundation came from, “rejoice” in the foundation’s accomplishments, and “renew” their mission and drive to continue changing lives with the members of communities they serve.
