From the Desk of Executive Director Paul Steffens:First, let me
express my personal appreciation to Peter Opsal for his sup-port
over the past two years. As the Chair of the SDASYMCA Board of
Management, Peter provided solid management that enabled this
organi-zation to reach new heights and set records in assisting
military families.His energy, imagination and can-do attitude
motivated everyone to think out of the box. While he passed the
Chairs responsibilities to our new Chair, we are thankful that
Peter remains on the board with the same pas-sion he had as the
Chair. Let me also welcome our new Chair, KathieZortman, who brings
equal passion for supporting military families to theposition. I
welcome the opportunity to work with Kathie to continue seek-ing
innovative avenues that lead to imaginative programs to support
ourmen and women in uniform and their families. Welcome Aboard
MadamChair!>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>I
also want to welcome our new Board of Management members and ournew
Civilian Advisory Committee members. We are eager for the new ideas
you bring to our operation and we welcome your hands-on
partici-pation.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
With our annual Father & Daughter Dance taking place on 19
February, I want to note the personal involvement of a very special
individual, Irene
Schwall, who personally got the word out to the community to
donate ball gowns for young ladies to wear to the dance and wow
their dads.Thanks to Irenes efforts, over 200 ball gowns were
donated and the
young ladies had fun shopping for just the right gown.
