I want to thank every one of you and I dread doing this because I know I will miss someone who made a huge contribution to the success of dancing feet 2017. I realize that not everything went smoothly or without friction BUT we came through in flying colors. Everyone had some involvement, but I particularly want to thank ALL of the following people;
Ruth Mikusko; our concert manager, for handling so many jobs and for providing an invaluable interface with the University Staff,
Deborah Savage; who did everything on the web, and was such an ally during the ticketing process,
Kevin Lesko; for directing the PORT and creating the best publicity campaign we have ever had,
Lin Pettengil; as our fearless president and as an invaluable member of the concert committee, and all her work in selling adverts and putting the program together
Julee Montez; as an invaluable concert committee member, advisor and aid on almost everything, especially reminding me to acquire some cash for the box office.
