Thank you for a great year!
Let me start my last president message with a BIG THANK YOU! My time as Vale Club president was tremendous, life changing, and increased my self esteem along the way. I experienced the deep love and respect for our organization, community, friendships, learning, traditions, inventions and, of course, our schoolhouse itself. I feel a great sense of closeness and inclusion throughout our club. The old saying is really true—the more you put in, the more you get out. The more involved you become, the greater connections you have with others who are also involved. It saddens me that after two years of holding executive positions, I still haven’t met everyone. Luckily, I am not going anywhere anytime soon. I am looking forward to getting more involved with planning some fun activities ahead. Hopefully, our activity committee will continue to grow. As I pass the gavel to Kathy Z., who is so excited and organized, I know she will go the distance with speed and focus, with her unique flare, humbleness, and humor. Watch out Vale Club, 2018-2019 will only get better! Please stay happy and healthy this summer. Yours respectfully, Kim Stackman Vale Club President
