What a perfect night it turned out to be!  The clouds parted and fun was had!

Thank you for joining us to celebrate your kiddos. I wanted to give a quick wrap up of all the award winners and one more thank you before calling the end of the banquet.

Last night would not have been possible without the tireless efforts of Stephanie Shugart and her team of volunteers.  Stephanie led the charge of planning, re-planning, creating a back up plan, making calls, aligning more volunteers, setting up, and tearing down.  The team's effort was not celebrated last night, however, the final results of the evening are a testament to their Stingray spirit. If you see Stephanie around, please tell her thank you and a job well done.
