Thank You Volunteers!

It took many hands to help make Bingo and Movie Night a success! In addition to the Event Chairs and Bingo Coordinators, Connie Berquist headed up the efforts at the concession stand -- including purchasing, delivering the snacks, picking up and returning the popcorn machine and setting up the stand! Thanks Connie!

Each and every parent who helped supervise in the mobie room, monitor the hallways, sell concessions, set up and clean up after the event ensured that the night went smoothly!

Thanks to: Mary Gutierrez, Jodi Dean, Cheryl Deiman, Julie Philbrook, Neil Carlson, Jean Lynch, Alan Kremer, Jean Marie Sales, Meredith Peterson, Penny McDonough, Angela Garrett, Sara Bristol, Kelli Kern, Jennifer Brown, Kelli Moen, Bob Goldstein, Mary Ward, Tara Halverson, Barb Mathieu, Robert Anderson and Katie Anderson, Greg Mantras, Bill O'Brien, Andie Scamehorn, Amy Friebe, Jacqueline Ballot, Gen Kewatt, Marianne Richmond, Jan Campbell and Eva Grooms.
