THANKS to everyone for a GREAT year!!

Guess what all?!

I finished my last exam of my undergraduate career at 10 pm last night!!

I'm looking forward to graduation and, of course, the summer :) But, I'm definitely going to miss Riverside, especially all of our Best Buddies fun.

We've had great leadership this year, but I believe we had even better members! We couldn't have accomplished all we did without your commitment and involvement. The best part (for me, at least) is to hear the Buddies and their parents' excitement for the club. When I see them at Project TEAM or at events, they always tell me stories about what they do with their College Buddies. Sometimes, I drive a few Buddies home, and they always ask me when the next event is going to be!

And, of course, there wouldn't be Best Buddies without all the Buddies from Project TEAM!

A huge thanks to them, for being great people!! They always make my day.

Special shout-outs go to:

Robert, always entertaining with his one-man shows and bugging me about seeing my new tv;

David and Rachel, for giving me compliments every time I see them;

Josh, who always asks for a hug;

Johnny, for riding with me, just so I wouldn't have to drive by myself;

Hugo, who says "Hi" to me at every event;

Paul, for his genuine enthusiasm at every event;

and, of course, my three favorite girls:

Andrea, Jane, and Stacey, who laugh at all my jokes, and then laugh at me for no reason at all.

I hope I'll find friends as great as you all when I move to Missouri!

A special thanks for everyone who participated in our fundraising events. After the Benefit Concert and Car Wash, we EXCEEDED our goal of raising $2000.

Even better news, there's at least $300 to start Best Buddies out for 2006-7! Good luck to Kevin and his team of officers! I know you will all do a fantastic job!!

Signing off all my Treasurer duties to Karisma,
