The Annual Dinner, held May 18th, is a time of reflection of the past year and a celebration of new beginnings. It is a time to honor retiring trustees while welcoming new members for the next term. Recognition is also given to staff for their dedication to the organization and to the Springer Parent Association for their efforts in supporting our school community.
This year, Thomas C. Leugers, out-going Board President (2008-10), and retiring trustees Anna K. Carey (2001-10), Vincent Michels (2001-10), and Arlene Roane (2006-10) were recognized for their many contributions. A. K., as a member of the Committee on Trustees, was instrumental in recruiting a number of trustees, and also served on the Development Committee. As Chair of the Resource Committee, Vince played an integral role in major facility renovations. He was Board Treasurer in 2008-10. Arlene, Board Secretary in 2008-10, also served on the Development Committee, chairing the Annual Fund campaign for two years.
