**The Orchestra has recently hired Jay Janell to manage operations. Welcome Jay!**
We would like to acknowledge stage manager Charlie McCauley, Marilyn Kloss and Sue Stone for their work as librarians, Dick Porter for writing program notes, Sue Stone for designing brochures and programs, Grant Anderson for maintaining the sound system, Marsha Westerberg for organizing the Young Artist Concerto Competition, Barbara Marden for her work on corporate sponsorship, Rob Orr for photographs of the orchestra, Alan Yost for conducting the Benefit Concert, the Messiah Sing, and the Gilbert and Sullivan performances, Carole Wayland for maintaining our web site, and Sue Masse, Marian Levinstein and Nancy McCarthy for organizing our Pops concerts. Many other orchestra members have put in countless hours decorating the hall and lobby, soliciting program ads, and organizing post-concert receptions. We are deeply grateful for all of these contributions.
