Carol's Acknowledgments

Our Green Recital!  We did it!

Thanks must go out to Giselle Hayes and her dad for costumes and props galore, Jane Cable who used my 20 year old fabric to create some fabulous costumes and endless hours of restructuring of costumes, Catrina Sneva for being willing to see outside the box to accomplish our paperwork and advertising the "green" way. To our part time seamstresses Michelle Lindeman, Robin Raine, Brittany Mazur and those mentioned by Giselle in her thank you’s, a huge KU THANK YOU. Thanks go to Niki Tilicki and Jennifer Jones for handling all aspects of our snack bar. Welcome to the lobby staff Dee Roberts for handling boutique and to Susan Leader for raffle.

To our office staff led by the amazing Caroline Sethney, thanks go to Chelsea Hoel and Stephanie Candelaria, Catrina Sneva, Barbara Elstad, and Michelle Lindemann and of course Lisa Holtorf, behind the scenes.

To the unbelievably organized Lisa Church along with Melissa Hoel and their staff, including but certainly not limited to Michelle Ahern, Diane Vollin, Barbara Elstad, Angelina Koenig, Lindsay Spencer, Kirsten Gaskell thank you. A special thanks to Dea Young-Smith for sharing her directorial skills to block "All for You"  and for stage managing our show, once again. 

Thanks also go out to each and every member of our teaching staff. We have been blessed to have some amazing teachers this semester. Some of our teachers are moving on to pursue their professional interests far away from us. David, you have been so much more to KU than a teacher.  You've become a friend to our family and an advocate for the healthy bodies of our dancers. You've changed lives. Bailey, we can't imagine our tap program, or our Senior Company without your fabulous choreography and straightforward teaching style.  We are beyond proud of you, and we completely support your desire to pursue Acting and Dance, but we will miss you. 

Caroline, to say we will miss you just isn't enough. You've been involved at KU for over 20 years, and over the last 4 years, have handled every conceivable job at our studio. On a personal note, I don't know how I would have gotten through the past week without you. I'm glad you'll be as close as Phoenix. I know you will always be willing to listen and help if possible for KU. You are a real friend.

To my son Mat Cable, who owns Fresco Pizzeria and Pasteria and Gian Noelle Catering, THANK YOU for the donation of our staff food, it's been wonderful. And to my son Tim Marshall for preparing two of our GREAT dinners. It means more than I can say that you continue to support KU and me. To Krystal McCue, welcome and thank you for doing such a wonderful job baking yummy desserts and presenting our staff food. You are a joy!

Thank you to my daughter Jennie for taking the time, while home, to work with our kids.  To my daughter Kelli, thank you again for another wonderful semester. I know how hard this semester has been for you as you watch your "Bailey" spread her wings and fly.  That's the tough part.  Your work is fabulous, once again.

KU family one and all, THANK YOU for supporting me this week.  I had quite a scare with Vince heart attack.  Through it all, I never worried about how everything would get done. I know I've surrounded myself with special and dedicated people and you were all there for my and my family.

I hope you will enjoy this very special GREEN RECITAL as much as we have creating it.
