Benefit a success despite rain

Dear Editor:

It was cold and rainy - a day to stay home and watch old movies, bundled and lamenting the early arrival of winter.

But, in spite of all the reasons not to leave the house, members of the Back Mountain community came out to support the Dallas High School International Club’s benefit barbeque.

It is with a humble heart that I thank club members, those who bought dinner tickets and those who gave donations, Dallas teachers and community members who gave up their Saturday to volunteer their time, our Pennsylvania representatives who took the time to congratulate the International Club in person, members of the support staff and maintenance crew who made things work smoothly, the parents who brought their children to share in the fun, our open mic volunteers, the musical group, “Just Us, which added its melodious voices; Thomas’ Food Market for providing and grilling the dinners and the ponies and their owners who stood in the rain to give rides.

To those whose names I know and to those whose names remain unknown to me, I am very grateful.

Candyce Fike

Adviser, DHS International Club
