#DSPRW2024 celebrations continued with Tuesdays event in our Fayette Region. “We camp do it without you,” was the theme. Some say Smokey the Bear was spotted. A dance off happened. And most importantly we came together to celebrate the efforts and achievements of our DSPs. We really “camp” do what we do without DSPs. #thankyoudsps

We kicked off our DSP Appreciation Week celebrations in our Indiana County region yesterday! A rock star theme, good food, awards ceremony, and gratitude, lots of gratitude awaited our DSP coworkers! We really couldn’t do it without the extraordinary efforts of our DSPs! #dsprw2024 #thankyoudsps Thank you Summit Church for the use of your beautiful event space!
