Greetings!

Yesterday I was teased about always saying, "Thank you." In my defense, 
I want to point out that one of the perks of this position is the 
'view' that I have of the organization. I have the opportunity to 
realize what it takes to make CCPOPS so successful. Last night's "A 
Time to Shine" is a perfect example.

Tom Wilson organized his team several months ago.  Remarkable committee 
chairs recruited others to get involved. Last night's success was the 
result of many people spending many hours planning, organizing, 
rehearsing, cooking, decorating, serving and cleaning-up. The Elks Club 
is an acoustical nightmare, yet the tech students transformed it into a 
delightful performance venue, spending the entire day perfecting the 
sound and lights, and then staying on-duty all through the evening to 
ensure that each performer truly 'shone'. When the last bow was taken, 
these tireless 'techies' packed the equipment and transported it back 
to CCHS.  Other students racked up fourteen hours in the kitchen, 
performing sous-chef duties and then completing all the washing-up! The 
student waitstaff were cheerfully efficient, in spite of the challenges 
of tight spaces. The MC's kept the evening moving with effortless grace 
and humor.

Anita Tekle (who baked all the delicious rolls), Yvonne Larson (who 
spent fourteen hours in the kitchen yesterday and will spend most of 
today unloading her car), Kathy Kennedy (dessert-creator and co-chef) 
avoided the spotlight last night, but they can't avoid our gratitude! 
We so appreciate the generosity of the local merchants and individuals 
who donated such amazing items for the Silent Auction, as well as the 
generosity of the 'bidders'! A special thank-you to the folks who 
needed to wait for their soup. Please accept our apology and understand 
how much we appreciate your patience and graciousness.

I can't possibly list all the individuals who deserve recognition - 
including their good-natured spouses/families. If appreciation were 
fairy dust, Carol Jamison and I  would be sprinkling it on each and 
every person who helped make "A TIme To Shine" such a marvelous event. 
We know who you are, and we can't possible thank you enough!

Most sincerely,
MJ
