Happy Birthday, Tina! We are so lucky to have Tina in our family and she is just as wonderful in her personal life. She's always giving and full of energy! Her husband, Brian and son, Andrew help to complete her and make her "Fabulous at Fifty".

I have the priviledge of working for Tina and I have to say that I feel I have one of the greatest jobs because I get to go to work for someone who really cares about the children of IC and her staff. Tina is a wonderful person. And I am very lucky.
