Special Thanks to...
The annual photo contest requires a lot of helping hands to make it happen. Thanks to David and LaDawn Ziser for coordinating the event. Thanks to Betty Trenkamp, Melanie Trenkamp, Jerry Sigl, Martha Cannon and Carol Wagner for helping with photo setup, tallying the votes and awarding the prizes. Appreciation goes out to our judges, Charlene Vonder Meulen and Jerry Fausz, and to our generous sponsors who provided an array of great prizes. Most of all, thanks to everyone who entered the contest. There's a lot of artistic talent at Mother of God.
