The students and all advisors want to thank everyone who helped us this year. Special thanks to Bettsey and Deb and Ken for helping the club; it is truly appreciated by the students and the advisors (staff) of SkillsUSA.
The conference offered far more than we ever expected. There were 5,000 student competitors this year and more than 15,000 in attendance for closing ceremonies.
I will continue to assist the club in the years to come, and I know that good things will happen in the future.
