Today the Wild Rumpus officially recognizes and honors the service of four of our original Board of Directors members..
@carolineaiken55 , @mon2miller , @j.gloh , and @danielsrobertson55 of @livewire_athens
The contributions of these amazing folks to the Wild Rumpus can not be understated!! Daniel, Montu, Caroline, and Jason's involvement goes back way before the formation of our nonprofit, and each of them was part of the crew to steer the ship through the transition to having a board and bringing the Rump to new heights.
We will miss them on the board, but you can be sure we will see their handiwork and imprint on our event for many years to come!!!
.
From the bottom of our hearts to the peaks of the Rumpaintops, THANK YOU, you guys!!!!
