Pat on the Back!

- Speakers at the Evansville Girl Awards Event, including Kendra Mehling, Abby Abernathy, Katie Blandford, Erin Garman, Maddie Lueken, Sandy Minasian, Abby Plump, and Hannah Remole, helped make the evening special by emceeing and introducing award recipients. (from Kara Messersmith)
- Vicki Butler for organizing and running Northside's end of the year celebration & SU Meeting. I had a great time! (from Brynn Howell)
Would you like to give a "Pat-on-the-Back" to a special person who went that extra mile or stepped in to help without being asked? Send an email to Margaret with the name of the volunteer or staff member and how he/she helped out. Pats-on-the-Back will be published in each issue of this eNewsletter.
