We would like to especially recognize Karen Garlough and her company My Chef. She went beyond the call of duty in helping us arrange many of the logistical details. Also, Karen's company provided a significant sponsorship for a pre-event that took place recently and her team did a great job in making that event a success. This event was held at the home of Ali and Mina Setork. They are great hosts and we would like to express our gratitude to them as well.

Additionally, our Leadership Team meeting host, Dave Leets, who kept us well-fed and entertained during our team meetings, Thanks, Dave!!!
