Kris Paulus and Kelly Tarnowski did a wonderful job once again organizing the Gold Card Blitz and sales. Thanks to Jeff Paulus, Sue Galuska and Diane Mueller for their assistance during the event. Kathy Lineweaver, Maria Rowlett and Sharon Evanko for their roles as Trustees in the Car Raffle. Diane and Jeff Mueller have done an excellent job maintaining the excellence in Concessions as we transitioned through changes in Trustees for this key part of our organization. Linda Miduri and Denise Carriero for helping work the Purple and Gold Booth so the Bonacci's can watch Jake play on Friday nights.

Jeff Evanko and Mike Kuhar have done an amazing job with our website, our hits are escalating at an exponential rate and we are getting wonderful feedback from the community.
