[NSRCA-discussion] District 4 Thank you...

[George Kennie]

What a wonderful encouragement to all those who sacrificed time and
resources to
assist in the execution of our complex events and their necessary
commitments.

Thanks so much for bringing this so deserved accolade to the fore !!!!!!!!

It's unbelievable the effort you guys commit to this fabulous endeavor and
no amount
of thanks could possibly begin to be worthy of the condition adequate
!!!!!!!
