New OS Youth Board Member: Andrew Pelarinos
We are very excited to have Andrew Pelarinos, a senior at Schaumburg High School, join the Operation Snowball Board of Directors as a Youth Advocate. Andrew recently served as the student Executive Director for Schaumburg's Snowball event this past spring. He has been involved with his school's Snowball for the past 3 years and has been to CGTI twice. Brent Swolsky, the Schaumburg HS Snowball Advisor said of Andrew, "I have often turned to him for advice on how to get the most out of our staff members. Andrew really has an understanding of how people tick and works to bring out the best in those around him; his personality lights up the room!"
