Thank You Corner
Much gratitude goes to Joe Somers (Owen – Room 100/102 & Evelyn Room 105) for not
only designing our beautiful Big Leap invitations, but stuffing and stamping
them for delivery. Thank you to Maggie Bauer and Mark Treppa (parents
of alum Andrew Treppa) for their combined and continuing volunteer efforts to
photograph and upload to our online platform in preparation for the annual
benefit auction through Bidding For Good. Accolades go to Sharon Gooday
(step-grandmother to Evan –Room 103 and Nathan - Room 101) for continuing her
reign as the “Queen of Procurement” for gathering more than 20 silent auction
items. Many more thanks to come in next
week’s Brickton Weekly as we continue the countdown to the Big Leap!
