SVRCS WINTER EVENTS
Sugar Valley ’ s Community Liaison , Dawn Jeffries , is always hard at work scheduling new events within Loganton for our community members . Her purpose is to create connections between the community and local institutions . Community liaisons often coordinate with the community to talk about their needs and concerns , then attempt to organize plans on improving their lifestyle and build positive relationships . Dawn is incredibly successful , and such a huge asset to the Sugar Valley community .
