PWC President Lenore Janis congratulated the crowd for braving the elements, noting that "PWC supporters are a determined lot and clearly, we are a force to be reckoned with!" She introduced Dinner Dance Chairperson Kristy Holt, PMCS engineer for Turner Construction Company and new member of the PWC Board of Directors as "a professional who left no stone unturned to assist PWC" and "one of Turner's best and brightest, the
woman of the hour." The band played "'Hello Kristy" to the tune of "Hello Dolly" as Holt approached the podium.
