Good morning, Tom,


I just want to thank you for an absolutely wonderful weekend at the Elks Area 1 Soccer Shoot. I can’t tell you how impressed I was by this event (so much so that I’m thinking about becoming an Elk myself!). I can’t even begin to imagine how many man hours that went into planning this event. Providing hundreds of parents and children with lodging, meals, transportation and entertainment is no small feat, and to do it all on SCHEDULE is unbelievable! All of the volunteers--the bus drivers, referees, score keepers, servers at meals, etc.--were amiable and a pleasure to deal with. What a fantastic group of people. Kudos to them all!
I am so happy that my grandson, Ben DiChiaro, was able to be a part of this terrific event. My son, who is not easily impressed, is now looking into the Elks Hoop Shoot competition because of his very positive experience with the Soccer Shoot. Perhaps we’ll see you there.
Thank you, again, for all that you do for the kids and the community. Your service and generosity of time is very much appreciated.
If I can ever be of any assistance, please let me know.
Regards,
Pat
