April 29, 2010 Membership mailing and MESPA Picnic in honor of our volunteers. We had volunteers in the MESPA office helping us prepare the 2010-2011 membership mailing. A big THANK YOU goes to: Dave Abrahamson, retired principal from St. Anthony-New Brighton; Mike Andrews, retired principal from Minneapolis; Jeanne Eisenbarth, retired principal from White Bear Lake; John Johnson, retired principal from Stillwater; Lloyd Law, retired principal from Minnetonka; Bob Lundberg, retired principal from White Bear Lake; Don Moore, retired principal from West St. Paul-Mendota Heights-Eagan; Bob Niederkorn, retired principal from Lester Prairie; and Richard Rademacher, retired principal from Mounds View. After our volunteers finished their work, we grilled some burgers and brats, and took some time to sit down and chat — our way to say thank you, volunteers, for all of the hours you have donated to MESPA. How we appreciate it! Our retired friends have stayed connected as volunteers for more than 15 years now. That’s a lot of hours!
