Thank you
To the Volunteers of Howl at the Moon 2009,
Thank you! You helped make this year's Howl the success it was. Events do not, can not, exist with out volunteers. You are a very special group of people. Many hands make light work, and all your hands made the evening a real joy for all.
The event proved to do what it was intended to be. Bring all the community together and get out as friends and family should. I hope you enjoyed your evening.
Sincerely,
Mike Silverman
