from Susie Goren
HWPA President '08-'09
To: Nazila Shokrian-Barlava, Jory Goldman and Donna Nadel, and the entire Senior Boys’ Event Committee — Congratulations for creating a fantastic event with record numbers in attendance. The room looked artistically festive, the games were a blast for those who participated, the chocolates were so original, many a photo was taken as a keepsake, the food enjoyed by all and everyone got to enjoy our guest speakers Tom and Peter Hudnut. Thank you to those who helped sponsor the day and whose hard work made it all happen. BRAVO!

To: Julie Bram and Sheryl Layne and the entire Senior Girls' event committee — Congratulations for creating a beautiful event for so many in attendance. The room felt very spring-like with the multiple pashminas tied around the chairs. The floral arrangements were magnificent and our senior girls looked beautiful all dressed up! Everyone got to enjoy some beautiful music courtesy of our senior girls. Thank you to those who helped sponsor the day and whose hard work made it happen. WELL DONE!

To: Janet Loeb and Jacqueline Gentile-Liebman — for coordinating our first HWPA community service event in conjunction with Big Sunday. Many thanks to the plus fifty volunteers who came out and showed their support!
