Hello Everyone,
This is a message from these committee members of the Ingalls Bulldog Alumni Homecoming: Alexia Watson, Josie Neely, Gina Estell, Theresa Andersen, and our incredible leader, Mandy Benton.
As many of you know, we have been a part of the committee for several years and have brought the Ingalls Community several memorable homecoming weekends. Theresa and Alexia served on the committee for three; Gina, Josie, and Mandy for four.
These years have brought with them countless hours, both seen and unseen, of hard work and dedication. Sometimes the planning and organizing felt like so much. The unhappy comments would feel bigger than the thank yous. But that would be quickly set aside when we'd see all of the smiling faces at check-in. Hear the cheers at the parade and the laughter at the banquet. And join you all at the street dance.
Many of you have asked if we, well mostly Mandy, will be coming back. And though we have said yes, even after saying no, in the past, we are officially stepping down.
We have loved being able to show how much the community means to us. This includes the people who traveled near and very, very far. And the students who have yet to graduate, and those who certainly have. We see you folks from Spokane, Washington, and the members of the class of '57.
Thank you all for joining us on this adventure. We look forward to seeing you in '28, but as fellow attendees of this event we all hold so dear.
Sincerely,
The Benton Girls
P.S. If you hear Mandy say yes, she really means No. Our Brother has made her consequences very clear. 😂
