"It is amazing how much people can get done if they do not worry about who gets the credit."

I see this trait in the Atwater club. I am looking forward to guiding the club into a very active and exciting 2004-2005 year.

Barbara Williamson and her committee were great making the installation special for everyone. There were "stars" shining everywhere. MY THANKS TO YOU ALL!

Lauren Ogbourne did a wonderful job blending my "American Made" theme and the red, white and blue colors for a very special installation. The installation was centered on an American flag that was created by Vikki Reynoso and Chris Carroll. The flag was complete, minus 10 stars. Lauren built our club around the features of the American flag. Barbara Williamson is the "history" to help us remember our past. Jane Edwards and Bo Petty as delegates are the "50 5-pointed stars" to shine at District & Region meetings. Vikki Reynoso and Eileen Duddy are the Canton or "blue field" reflecting vigilance and perseverance. Suzi Balestra and Margo Bonnet are the "7 red stripes" in hopes that the books are never in the red. Juene Hazlett represents the "6 white stripes" signifying purity and innocence since she will create the history of the club. Wendy Corvelo is the "flagpole" representing all aspects of Soroptimist services. Dale Griffin is the "fabric" to create the cohesiveness for the club. Each officer received a star that completed the American flag.
