Hi everyone.

Hello to the veterans and welcome to the new Yellowjackets parents!As Jeff mentioned, he will be working toward finalizing the dinner. I wasn't anticpating being in Florida this year only because of a new job, but my plans have allowed me to be in Sanford for the last few days of UAA. So, I will be assisting Jeff with the dinner.

At the suggestions of Ed Kahovec, I started this parent dinner two years ago with the fantastic help of Beth Guzski. In my opinion it has been a great success. Getting the "rookie" parents involved in the Yellowjackets tradition with the veterans has been great fun.

Since my son is a senior, and I may not be able to ever come to Florida again in Sanford, I needed to pass the task along to someone who fells like I do about getting the parents together, especially welcoming-in the new parents. However, I will be in Florida on Thursday to follow-up on the dining arrangements with Jeff and Beth.

I would like to see if this can become an annual tradition, so I decided to give our dinner a name. It will be called The Yellowjackets Parent Community Network Dinner. This years is our 3rd. Looking forward to seeing you all in Florida.

GO JACKETS!!!!!
