THANK YOU

A very special thank you to all the members who assisted in any way with the WWGA events this year. The tournament coordinators did an excellent job, tournament chairpersons oversaw and created exciting games for our members and the luncheons  created by tournament organizers and Judy Kennell and her assistants, Ro McVety and Jan Boggs, Liz Nelson, Barb Everts, Ann Stoneback, et al, were get togethers that not only provided sustenance but also  helped build relationships.

Judy Kennell was always there to provide gentle guidance and support, as well as Terry Barker, Molly Van Marter and Justin Creighton.

Gratias, Merci, Grazi, Thank you very much. Tessie Van Wagner
