Best Buddies ball was a triumph

Posted May 04, 2008 11:00 pm

We would like to thank some very special people who helped make our 12th annual Best Buddies "That's What Friends Are For" Spring Ball April 5 a huge success!

Best Buddies, an international club, promotes social activities and friendship with people who have intellectual disabilities.

Thank you to the Knights of Columbus and the Lions Club of Barrington; the Tomczyk family for always supporting our students and our club; Brian Mathien and Steve Underwood for all their help with the invitations and programs; John Ardente and his horticulture classes, who made the corsages and boutonnieres; Barrington Caterers; Music by Mark; Card and Party Warehouse for the balloons; and Adalith and the BHS custodial staff.

Thank you also for the help that some of Coach Sanchez's football players provided, namely Nick Nudo, Cody Seer, Tyler Sinclair, Mitch Graser and Trevor Laue.

Thanks to everyone for making this a memorable evening!
