End of the Year Thanks!

Dear Animal Science Club,

Thank you for such a great year. I hope everyone had a great time at Ag Day 2012. It was so successful that we are hoping to expand for next year. Thank you to everyone who volunteered and came to our end of the year banquet.
Thank you to all the seniors for everything they have contributed to the club throughout the years. We will miss each of you very much and wish you the best of luck in everything and anything you do. Come back and visit!
Thank you to our wonderful advisors, Dr. Griffiths and Laura Nemec. Without our advisors, our club would cease to function.
I hope to see everyone back in the fall! Have a fun and safe summer!

Regards,
Nina
