Too many countless people to thank and provide credit to. Each made this season possible. All of you were a part of making this a success. So, thank you from the bottom of my heart. As I said in the beginning, the community that is SWM Rec (SWM SC, Stevensville, Lincoln Charter Township, Lakeshore Public Schools, and the surrounding communities that joined us this season) is the community after my own heart. This is the place that I am proud to call home. Truly the crown jewel of SW Michigan.
There are three people, in particular, that deserve a great deal of the credit and their names are Ms. Brittany Dunham, League VP and Mr. Gil Urban, SWM SC President, and Superwoman (she knows who she is). Both Gil and Superwoman recruited me to the league post and provided guidance to me along the way. Our success was not possible without them.
The third person most deserved of a great deal of recognition is Ms. Brittany. She provided countless hours of selfless service to the league. Her hand was in everything from the start, from season planning, registration, scheduling, coaching, pictures, uniforms, parking, social media, etc. Without her contribution all of this would not have been possible.
So, Ms. Brittany, Gilly, and Superwoman — THANK YOU. You embody the spirit of our league and I am very grateful to have your leadership and contribution.
Please let us know about your experience by completing this short survey. Your input is key to making the improvements you’d like to see. So, let us know by clicking HERE FOR SURVEY.
I love you all very very much and consider all of you my family and hope to see you in the fall.
