THANK YOU AND A NOTE OF APPRECIATION Thank you and a note of appreciation to all involved for making BEEF’ N BEAN DAY a terrific community wide event. The main coordinators and players, Caree Rinebarger, Maria Zuniga, Lois Onorato, Dallas Mulvin, Elizabeth Austin, Jerrie Solomon, Janie Lichtfuss, Teresa Gilley, Ashley Standy & Tiffany Smith deserve extra recognition for their efforts and time. Also, the Chamber, Milliken Business Association, TRPR, Milliken Fire Protection District, and in particular the Milliken Town Staff get a “standing ovation” as events were smooth from opening bell at breakfast to the eye popping and final flicker of the evening fireworks. I apologize for not naming all the volunteers. You deserve a pat on the back as well. I believe I speak for the Community in saying “Thank you and appreciate your efforts for a job well done.” Milt Tokunaga, Mayor [email protected]
