It was sunny and approximately in the 70&#8217;s.<br \/>\nThat was so nice. But then a big drop after the sunset, brrr. Yet it<br \/>\nwasn&#8217;t as cold as in WI, smile.<\/p>\n<p>Preston and I want to thank many of you who came Saturday evening for<br \/>\nthe Surprise Farewell Party. We were absolutely clueless about this<br \/>\nparty! So you all did a good job! Yes we both wept every now and then<br \/>\nover the weekend. We are excited to know that the money raised during<br \/>\nthe party will go towards the DAD Building Fund which will help DAD<br \/>\nget a new patio with new fence, and this patio will be named in our<br \/>\nhonor.<\/p>\n<p>It is my honor to introduce DAD&#8217;s 2009 Officers &#038; Board Members who<br \/>\nwere elected last January 23, 2009. I most sincerely wish them the<br \/>\nbest year to come:<\/p>\n<p>President: Christian Nicolay<\/p>\n<p>Vice President: Marianne Sasseen<\/p>\n<p>Secretary: Janel Davis<\/p>\n<p>Treasurer: Kimberly Watts<\/p>\n<p>Board Members:<\/p>\n<p>Sonja Cooksey<\/p>\n<p>Melissa Schiber<\/p>\n<p>Anthony Jones<\/p>\n<p>Cindi Nagy<\/p>\n<p>Kent Reneau<\/p>\n<p>Rita J.

Thanks goes to Donna<br \/>\nLide who sent me an update listing of the committee names. Volunteers<br \/>\nwere: Preston Ashley, Marianne Sasseen, Isidos Gutierrez, Clifford<br \/>\nBryant, Jesse Carrizales, Albert Jaramillo, Mark Phillips, Jimmy<br \/>\nCooksey, Mitchell Bien, Sonjia Duante, Ann Phillips, Sheila<br \/>\nBarton-Carpenter, Susan Lane, Kim Watts, Sheri Jaramillo, Donna Lide,<br \/>\nLarry Campero, Kathy Walters, Rita Reneau, Maxine Satarino, Cindi<br \/>\nNagy, John Peckham, David Normand, Kent Reneau, Annslee and Bailee<br \/>\nJaime, Cathy and Countine Ware and Cheryl Jaime.<\/p>\n<p>WOW last Sunday, I was able to capture some of the plays during the<br \/>\nSuper Bowl. Gosh, it certainly was a thrilling game! When I was in the<br \/>\noffice catching up some paper work, I thought I could feel the whole<br \/>\nbuilding shaking when all the Super Bowl fans, which was approximately<br \/>\n150 of you, were screaming their heads off and jumping up and down! <\/p>\n<p>And always do continue to check out our website first, before coming<br \/>\nto DAD, for any updates and\/or any rescheduling, which may occur at<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/www.dallasdeafclub.org.<\/p>\n<p>I know that both Preston and I WILL miss you all.
