Thank You from Jordan's Family Foundation & Recess ROCKS!

[Corey Rossen]

Thank you to the community for helping Recess ROCKS! be a huge success in its initial event - we plan to do this for years to come!

There were a few key players that really made the event shine, and I would like to thank them by name:

Rick Berdine - Lakewood City Schools
Holly Lauch - City of Lakewood, Mayor's Office
Joe Beno - Lakewood Public Works Department
Kurt Matej - Lakewood Division of Parks
Jim O'Bryan - Lakewood Observer
Erin Fach - Lakewood Board of Recreation
John Stalzer - Reminger & Reminger Law Offices - and Volunteer Extraordinare
Grant Schiefferle - Volunteer Extraordinare
Kara Goeller - My wife who thought I was crazy for taking this on solo and for supporting my every idea (well, almost every idea).

Also, I would like to thank the incredible teachers, principals and school administrators for their enthusiasm and support of the event. A very special thank you to this list of dunk tank victims on a very cold day (with not-so-clean water none-the-less):

Lynn Eckert, Sean McGuan (foolishly bravely went in the tank twice), Genni Lach, Rachel Karcher, Roxann Ramsey, Jessie Holland, Jen Johnson, Sarah Andrzejewski, Carrie Weber, Robert Curtain, Terry Selby, Laura Strauss, Keith Ahearn, Mark Walter, Mr. Maxhimer, Mrs. Pesta, William Wagner, Mitch Robita, Matt Markling (1 hour in the tank!)

Also, a huge thank you to all of the volunteers for their time and support and efforts to make the event go smoothly and very enjoyable for all of the guests.

If I forgot anyone, I thank them as well.

Thank you all again, and we hope you join the fun again next year for the 2nd Annual Recess ROCKS! presented by Jordan's Family Foundation!
