Angie's Club 6513 - Starlifters say: " Angie personifies professionalism. We are very fortunate to have her as a member of our Club. She does great speeches, but more importantly she participates at all levels in the club and meetings. She makes sure the room is setup. She manages to do this as well as being a good employee, being really involved with her family and outside interests. She readily says how much TMs has helped her. Our Club is the real benefactor, because we have her!"

~ ~ ~

Sean's Club 9681 - Word Warrior's say:  "Sean is the member every Club dreams of. He jumped in with both feet, running! He sped through his Competent Communicator manual and has almost completed the Competent Leader manual, and along the way he volunteered for everything that needed to be done. He became the Club Secretary when it became vacant, and continued to bring fun, enthusiasm, and a wonderful attitude to every meeting. As one of our newer members, we are very proud to award the Outstanding Member honor to Sean Tetler!"

A Very Special Thanks to Angie and Sean & to

every Outstanding Member for your dedication
