Thank you everyone for all your help and generosity of time. I especially thank the teachers who went above and beyond the call of duty and helped me even more than their allotted volunteer hours. You know who you are, and I am eternally grateful.

Currently, I am now looking for a North Region branch honors coordinator. Ji An has stepped down from this position. I am so hoping someone is as generous as her in giving her time to this worthy cause. I know all the teachers are also grateful besides me to those who really give their all to the program. Until next year, have a wonderful Summer!

I hope to see you all at Convention!
