Karen Patterson and Amy Landen, Co-Chairpersons, want to extend our warmest gratitude to everyone who shared their energy, their time, and their talents to make this year’s Night of Lights and Soup Supper so successful. It truly took a village of volunteers – and how we love our Village! We live among some of the most generous and supportive people we have ever known. You all certainly proved that again. The atmosphere of holiday joy was felt throughout the Clubhouse.

This year Karen and I had some personal issues to address so we developed a group of volunteer Captains to head individual teams to organize this event. We depended on these Captains to establish their team and fulfill their assigned duties with our supervision when necessary. We would like to acknowledge and personally thank these Captains and their teams for a job well done:

Signup Book: Captain Peggy Anderson

Setup: Captain Norm Bossie

Table Decorating: Captain Kathy Rambo

Greeters: Captain Annette and Steve Nelson

Signs: Captain Rosemary Rosenberger and Cele Zerhusen

Servers: Captain Marie Bossie

Salads: Captain Anne Marie Mason

Bread & Butter: Captain Mary Jo Volpicelli

Night of Lights Activity: Captain Ed Beres

Night of Lights Snacks: Captain Teresa Athas

Bar: Captain Skip Kornmeyer and Donna Donaldson

We would also like to thank all our soup makers for the variety of delicious soups provided.

Thank you seems inadequate. We appreciate you, more than you know. Karen and I were amazed at how every piece of creating the fantastic evening worked perfectly. It is because of you and your teams – everyone who attended enjoyed an evening of Holiday Joy! We extend our humble gratitude to each of you.

With gratitude,

Karen and Amy
