I want to thank Nativity Parish and School for giving me the opportunity to serve you the last 39 years.
It has been a privilege to work with such dedicated pastors and associates, principals and administrators, and parish, school, and maintenance staff over the many years. I appreciate all of the cards, gifts, and kind words I’ve received from so many wishing me well on my upcoming retirement. It has been overwhelming.
I particularly want to thank those involved in the Bingo Bash held June 15. It was a wonderful opportunity to visit with so many Nativity friends. Many thanks to all who made it such a success, beginning with the planning committee: Sarah Aamodt, Patty Bauchle, Steve Boatman, Molly Dressen, Leah Driscoll, Molly Fenlon, Pete Greenheck, Isaac Huss, Mary Jo Iverson, Kari Jaksha, Nancy Mir, and Katie Reeder.
Thanks to those who volunteered and provided prizes, including the NCF Steering Committees (past and present), Home and School, the Boy and Cub Scouts, the young people who ran the bingo games, Men’s Club, NCCW, School staff, and the many others who contributed food and beverages.
Nativity is truly a special place to work.
Gratefully,
Bill Beltz
