Coaches appreciated all the help

To the editor:
On Sunday, July 12, 2003, our Coaches Association hosted its 7th Golf Classic at Falcon Ridge Golf Course. For our tournament to be a success many people are involved behind the scenes that do not receive the credit they deserve. I would like to thank Bill and Carol Baumann, Dave Ambers, Tom Moriarty, Carol Fletcher and Holly Graham-Herman for their help and support in organizing this tournament.
In addition, thanks go out to the special people who offered their time volunteering their services during the day. Thank you to our adult volunteers: Jan Ashlin, Sue Lakeberg, Judy Sibik, Deb Charley, Holly Graham-Herman, Megan MacKenzie, Ian and Holly McWilliams, Brian Hasleiet, Betty Ambers, Wendy Frank, Kelli Hasleiet, Christi Walker, Kristin Anderson and Casey Ambers. Doniver Ahlm was our acting MC and acting as our course rangers were Rick Lofboom and John Forstrom.
And to our student/athlete volunteers: ELizabeth Fairbanks, Randi Zentner, Kelsey Lloyd, Lacee Scherer, Amy Aho, Tiffany Good, Kacie Ramberg, Megan Ranger, Kelsey OíHern and Haley Hasleiet.

I know there are others who contributed prizes to our tournament. However, I did not receive your names. For those we greatly appreciate your support.
Lastly, I want to thank everyone who participated in the tournament. The success of our tournament comes about be-cause of the generosity of all. Our Coaches Association has been fortunate to have the support of so many since the origination of the Golf Classic in 1997.
As you can see, many people and organizations contribute to the success of an activity. Our Coaches Association thanks you all.
