CC: Jay Socol; Kids Klub Listserve; Marshal! Wallace
The Kids Klub Staff and I would like to sincerely thank the PARD family, Jay
Socol, and Marshall Wallace for helping us with the 2011 Lights On Afterschool
Rally. Without your help there is absolutely no way we could have pulled off
such a successful event.
I can't possibly thank every individual for your personal contributions but I do
have a few honorable mentions....Jay, you were a fabulous emcee and we are
honored you were willing to give your time. Marshall, thank you for showing up
on a moment's notice to assist with the generators. Kelli Nesbitt, I can't wait to
see the pictures!!! Scott Hooks, you are still the best sound guy I know.
Stephan Richardson, thank you for your contributions in solving the great fire vs.
gas vs. electric debate. Kelly Kelbly and Vera Solis, thank you for your
leadership in the kitchen. Zach Salomon, Keith Fails, Howard Putz and Jaime
Enriquez are by far the best turkey dog grillers in the west!!!! In fact, I believe
Howard was grilling on his own time!!
In all seriousness, I truly appreciate the willful and joyful spirit with which
everyone pitched in. I mean it when I say you guys were absolutely
instruments[ in our success. I'm honored to work with each and everyone of
you. Thanks again - Jana
