Our gratitude goes to Colleen Mehegan, Martha Ard, Regina Cesareo and Ann Marie Lynch for meeting with me to plan our New Year at the summer board meeting. Additionally, I want to thank all the others who made suggestions or helped plan events. The Installation Dinner was delicious. Judy Page did an outstanding job with the arrangements. Ann Marie Lynch, Sue Oliva and Cindy McCracken did a fabulous job selecting the high school recipients for the scholarships.
Recipient selection is both rewarding and educational.
I recommend everyone volunteer at least once to see first hand how the process works. The winners are Alyona Dzumak, Elisia Jankowski and Erik Bjorklund. Thank you Ann Marie. Pamela Farina won the mature woman scholarship. Pamela is the daughter of our branch member Sandi Farina.
