“Booster Shots” from NRAB President Ben Morgan... Mark DiFrancisco: Thank you for all of the prompt attention to our needs and assisting Jennifer to promptly process Letter Jacket orders in an efficient manner. Jim and Kerri Smith: Your efforts in coordinating the Fall Sports Concessions at Ser-pentini Stadium was outstanding once again this year. Thanks for being on call and mo-bilizing the effort to staff the 1st Round football Playoff Game that we hosted. Thanks also goes out to Rich and Monica Hrin for securing additional volunteers from the Band Boosters to work the visitor side concession stand at this Playoff Game. While we are on the subject of the Playoff Game, the following individuals volunteered to work the concession stand that night. Thank you very much for taking the time to help out. Your efforts helped direct proceeds from the concession stand to the NRAB. Mike Barbo, Bill and Kathy Dapsis, Barry and Kathy Ezell, Brian and Eric Lebo, Jeff and Diane Mueller, Jeff and Kris Paulus, Ed and Laurie Pfister.
