Thank you 75th Anniversary Committee!

Many thanks to all who gave their time and talent to the 75th Anniversary Committee. The year-long (and then some) slate of festivities did a fabulous job of honoring our past, affirming our present and inspiring all of us for the future. The committee was led by Marie Krebs and made up of Martha Click, Kay Copp, Jessica Donnelli, Mary Hambric, Marybeth Hoesterey, Kathy Korioth, Sheila Levatino, Kelsey McGaw, Ryan Nelson, Barbara Stockton, Amy Styczynski, and Frances Winikates.

Thank yous are also due to Bob and Clare Tullier for the production of a marvelous video; Julia Rooney and all the student musicians who helped create the enjoyable atmosphere at last week's Faith for the Future event, and our hosts for the evening John and Trish Hill.
