Thank you, Christine Murphy
The end of 2021 marked the end of Christine Murphy’s term with us as an AWSEF Trustee and we’re sad to see her go. (You can still volunteer at the Silent Auction, Christine!) Christine has been the powerhouse behind our Silent Auction the past four years and has done a great job.
