Sheesh, those names really add up when you list them like this. Not a one-man show at all. Thanks for the efforts everyone!

You’re so right, Daniel!
The host of volunteers, performers and participants was really noticeable this year.

Totally awesome! A huge thanks to everyone! The reunion is an incredible experience and it has impacted me and challenged me in my spiritual walk both times I went — not to mention it was tons of fun, too!
