Letter from the KP Presidents
Dear Kingspoint Club Members,
We are thankful for all of our members and for your unwavering support. We have so many volunteers and donors who jump-in and help us whenever we put out the call for help and even when we don’t. Many of your efforts are quietly completed without us asking or knowing, but they do not go unnoticed and we want to thank you. You are our “elves,” working to make the Club look beautiful and run smoothly. We thank you all! If any volunteers or donors don’t see their names listed, please know that leaving off your name was not intentional. The Club couldn’t run properly without all of your efforts too! A heartfelt thank you to all for signing up and showing up! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU ALL!
