Heartfelt thanks to everyone
To the editor:
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who lent a hand in the community volleyball game at the high school. The Lady Bulldogs were awesome, and it was wonderful to see the alumni players return with such class and grace. Holbrook teachers were amazing. They all get an A. Community team, what can I say? You are the reigning champs. Hope the muscles aren’t too sore.
Larissa Belezos, thank you for lending your beautiful singing voice to the evening. Brendan Monahan, you were a wonderful master of ceremonies. Mr. Hayward, the tournament ran so smoothly because of your expertise on the court. Karen Santorelli, Liz and Maggie Brady, you did a wonderful job at the busy raffle table. Tom Harless and Sarah Haley, the concessions were well managed by you both. Shannon Capidilupo, Peg Comer, Meaghan Comer, and Marissa Clougher, you did a great job checking the crowd in. Ms. McDonough, thank you for your expertise with the sound system. Robert Golden, many thanks for all the help at home loading and unloading the car, filling coolers with ice, hauling waters.
Thank you also to the many businesses that allowed signs to be posted in their locations to publicize the event. Most special thanks to those who donated raffle items: student artists Victoria Sarmento and Courtney Kerr, athletic director Lauri Thorne, Holbrook teachers Marina Selby and Suzy Twiss, the Holbrook Music Parents, the Hair Cafe, Holbrook House of Pizza, Maria's Pizzeria, Corner Grille, and the Lobster Barn. Generous donations from Stop and Shop, Walmart, and CVS were most appreciated as well. Apologies to anyone I may have missed.
Most of all, thanks to the many spectators who filled the stands. Your support of Holbrook’s kids is remarkable. This is a great town and nights like this remind us of that.
