    "Early on, it was easy for me to see why the Midway is so successful. First, we have a first class product. The second most important asset in any organization is the employees and volunteers. They create the Midway Magic. I unabashedly say that it is an honor to serve as a volunteer with this group of individuals." - Midway Volunteer
