>>Dear Mr. Hughes:

>>

>>Please forgive me for taking sooooo long sending this heartfelt, but very 

>>tardy, 'thank you' to CMS Adminstration, Staff & students.  We were 

>>overwhelmed with thankfulness for all their hard work and dedication in 

>>making our December 5th US 70E Interchange Celebration & Scenic Gateway 

>>such a wonderful success.  I, personally, want to thank you for being so 

>>very generous re all aspects of the event with your time and support.  It 

>>required a tremendous level of excellence on everyone's part and, indeed, 

>>was reflected in the wonderful outcome.

>>

>>Thank you,TY,TY,TY,TY,TY:) Peggy Stanley for your expert computer 

>>skills/talents & patience, plus your efforts in various other ways.

>>

>>And, thank you, Tony Terry & all the talented CMS Band members for working 

>>so hard preparing a fabulous 20 minute prelude to our Ceremony which 

>>heightened the excitement and anticipation (they were Great!:) We applaud 

>>you!

>>

>>Also, Shari Leake and her staff deserve a round of applause for having the 

>>venue so clean and ready in a timely manner after lunch, plus setting up 

>>the foyer for the food & beverages.

>>

>>And, TY Pam Jackson for your video expertise of our Ceremony giving us a 

>>permanent visual record of this step - the first in many - as we develop 

>>the Scenic Gateway. (I hope we can have a copy to show all the S/G SC 

>>members who missed out:)

>>

>>The CMS Cheerleaders braved the cold with grace as they helped direct 

>>arriving guests to designated parking areas...as well as those 

>>Cheerleaders who ushered guests inside, with cheerful smiles on all.

>>

>>We, also, want to thank those teachers who encouraged their students to 

>>create individual paintings/drawings for the wonderful art display which 

>>lined the front of the stage and walls.  We hope to pull as this together 

>>is some 'keepsake' format.

>>

>>And last, but definitely not least, your CMS Maintenance staff did a great 

>>job making sure everything was clean and orderly and lights worked, etc.

>>

>>It certainly was a TEAM EFFORT in every sense of the word.  We are 

>>grateful and proud to have such fine young, and not 'as young', citizens 

>>in the Scenic Gateway.  I assume everyone received their Certificate of 

>>Appreciation which, in a small way, shows you how much you were truly a 

>>major ingredient in the success of our event.

>>

>>I hope this will be forwarded to each department involved in our December 

>>5th Ceremony/Dedication.  If I have left out anyone, I sincerely 

>>apologize.

>>

>>Sincerely,

>>
