I want to recognize the great leadership of Sarah Lindemuth as our Chair for the past year. Sarah spent countless hours, working with Alice to make this a unique and highly rewarding experience for our Class members. And believe that the entire class would agree that it was one of the best experiences in their lives. Thank you so much Sarah.
We also want to recognize Alice Bessette for her 21 years of dedicated and wonderful service as our Executive Director. Thank you Alice.
And to our Class of 2016, congratulations on a wonderful and successful year. We look forward to your continuous support and involvement in LTB.
We are now in the final stage of accepting applications for this coming year's class, and the cutoff date is this Friday. We very much would value anyone our Alums recommend for the class. The link to the application is below.

We have some very exciting events coming up in the next few months for our Alums to enjoy. The events include the Class of 2016 Before I Die Wall unveiling on August 26th on the Riverwalk, the Rowdies Tailgate and game on September 17th, The Power of Access Event on October 13th, and our Holiday Party on December 8th.
We also would very much like for everyone to be involved in our organization by serving on committees. If you would like to be more involved contact Alice Bessette for a list of committees. I want to thank you for the honor as serving our organization this, our 29th year.
Thank you
Stu
