Valerie Pagdin Wins an iPad!

Valerie’s name was picked in a draw to win an iPad at the closing night of Saik’uz and Settlers.  People that signed on to the volunteer database had their names put in the draw, as well as all the cast and crew of the play (who all put in countless volunteer hours). Valerie was  one of the people in charge of costumes for the play.

Congratulations, Valerie!
