"Chief Boothe,
We are so appreciative that Jennifer and your cadets have chosen to support us in this event. We have learned a lot from her about setting up something such as this and can't wait to see how the cadets do in the events and see them root for each other. Jennifer has been awesome to work with. Please contact me with any other thoughts and or questions.
Sincerely, Norm"
