SHELTER ROCK SCA THANK YOU to …
• Sari Kulka, our amazing Vice President, who organizes
the volunteers, and picks up the slack when things aren’t
going as they should be;
• Susan Powers, our detailed and efficient finance chair,
who makes sure that the monies collected by the SCA
are properly deposited, spent and documented;
• Diane Kraft, our reliable website coordinator, who each
week, like clockwork, updates the Shelter Rock SCA
website and creates the SR Highlights.
These three women are the backbone of our organization.
