  14. Volunteers of the Year • Sally Thompson – website makeover • After years of meetings and various committees attempting to do a make-over for our website, Sally is the one who finally got it accomplished.  As part of the Marketing Committee, she worked with several other club members, all of whom gave valuable time and energy to the process.  But, without Sally’s willingness to bite off the large task of getting input and direction from many individuals, setting up the beta-site, transferring the information from the old site to the new, and launching our new site, we would more than likely still be talking about what could be rather than realizing what is. • Susan Andrade – artist extraordinaire • Susan has done a remarkable job in remaking the Club's logo, painting Frank's Picture as the Troll on the lake wall, the Certificates , Poster and T-shirt art for the Head of the Troll Race, and a number of other little art projects around the Clubhouse.
