Dear Parents,

            If you weren’t at the Dream Vacation last Friday night, you really missed a great evening.  All of you who worked to make it so successful are to be commended.  It was the best yet!  I especially want to thank Maribeth May for having everything well organized and keeping everyone up to date.

            To the parents who sent items but couldn’t come, to the artistic and creative mothers who made it look so beautiful inside and out, to all the babysitters so the parents could enjoy the evening, to the musicians who were fantastic, to the Knights of Columbus for providing a great casino night, to all who brought food that was so delicious, to the kitchen crew who kept things going, to all who enjoyed the beautiful weather for conversing and dancing on the patio, to all who helped with the various raffles, to all those who served in any way, and to the clean up crew THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANK

YOUTHANKYOU!
