The Friday Feature!
News and Notes for the Madison Staff (11/13/15)
Thanks!
I know I will inadvertently forget some folks that did important things to make these big days happen, because the Madison staff is so good at just jumping in and filling voids when they arise! But, I do want to thank a few:
- Thanks MJ for welcoming our Vets and making them feel so welcome and appreciated!
- Thanks Javier for the incredible work load in getting us ready for Vets parking, Vets assembly, coin assembly, MCD assembly, and all the extra set-ups involved in MCD!
- Thanks Jamie for jumping at the need to clean up vomit as our honored Vets came walking up the LLC ramp! YUCK!!
- Thanks Kathy D for organizing all of the Vet classroom visits and set up needs for all of these crazy events!
