On behalf of the Dowagiac Fine Arts Booster Club, I have a lot of gratitude for the support the community lent to students during The Young Americans’ visit in November.

Without the help from the following individuals we would have been lost.

• Ryan Murray

• Rob True and family with True’s Towing and Recovery

• Mark Ferry with Ferry Farms

• McDonald’s

• First United Methodist Church

• Danny and Kelly St. Cin

• Midway Engineering

• 1st Choice Automotive

• Wolford Electrical

• Rohdy’s Heating and Cooling

• Imperial Furniture

• Hidden Treasures and Antiques and more

• Round Oak Revisited

• Subway of Cassopolis

• Scott Rose

• Bow Wow Bakery and Bath

• Family Fare deli

• Ray and Zana Klomes

• Pat Murphy

• Elks Club

• Dussell Farms

• Karen Benedix

• Reta Sikkenga

• Ada Springsteen

• Lincoln Clark and Danielle Lamb

• Dowagiac Union Schools administration

• Dowagiac high school and middle school staff

• Dowagiac Middle School kitchen crew (Elisabeth Garber, Dawn Pontius, Amber Williamson, Jenette Owens, Sharon Heron, Angela Royer and Deb Cahill)

• Dowagiac Middle School custodial staff

• Mark Tyrakowski with the bus garage

• Angie Walker with Little Caesar’s

• Saylor’s Pizza

• Terry Ausra Farms

• All the volunteers behind the scenes

We look forward to working with all of you again in just a little more than two years. As you can see, it takes a lot to put this on for the youth to have a great time and make great memories.

If we left anyone off of this list we are sorry. We did not do that intentionally.

We also need to thank all of the people who made donations for scholarships for students who otherwise could not have participated.

One last big thank you to Jeff Robinson for all his hard work getting things done.
