seattle newsletter: summer 2008

letter from the chair

Dear Summer Searcher,

Thanks for reading Summer Search Seattle’s very first issue of E-Blast! My name is Regina and I am the founding Chair of Seattle’s recently created Alumni Board. This E-blast is designed to inform you about everything that is going on with Summer Search locally and nationally. The other Alumni Board members, Ti’esh and Alma and I have written a few things that will hopefully get you up to par on everything that Summer Search is doing. It is now officially summer, and I hope that wherever you may be, you are enjoying the sunshine. Stay tuned for more Summer Search goodness in later issues of Summer Search’s E-Blast!
