A letter of thanks from your Past President:
I would like to thank my
Executive Board, Vicky Goodrum,
Carol Dillon, Peg Ghering, and
Christine Roadifer for their
year of service to the Band
Boosters, and their willingness
to serve one more term. I wish
them a successful year. I would
also like to thank my Band
Director, Michelle Irvin, though
words cannot cover the depth of
my gratitude.
Thank you to all my committee
chairs: Barb Mendelson,weekly
e-mail editor, Eva Meyers,
webmaster, Amy Vitale and
Christine Roadifer, Uniform
chairs, Denise Villalon,
Membership, and to all the
parents who have said, "yes!"
when I asked for help. You made
my job so much easier. Your
spirit of volunteerism did not
go unnoticed, and I am very
grateful!
I would like to thank all the
Band Booster parents for
allowing me so many
opportunities to work with your
wonderful children through the
years. I have enjoyed getting to
know the Band & Orchestra kids,
and will miss seeing them as
they continue their high school
journey.
I am honored to have served my
terms as President of Band
Boosters. I have enjoyed meeting
so many wonderful parents and
students. I would do it all
again in a heartbeat!
Thank you everyone,
Sharon Holzer
