On June 18th FIR members thanked the FY23 Board members and welcomed in the new FY24 Board members. This year the theme was "Celebrating Women who are SUPER and full of WONDER". The theme was chosen based on the amazing women in the club; especially our FY2024 President Brianna Hackler and our incoming FY2025 President Sarah Davies. We played a Taylor Swift song for Swifty Brianna and then the perfect song for baseball/softball lover Sarah …we all sang the chorus along with John Fogerty, “Put me in, Coach. I’m ready to play.
Susan and Kim gave the toast to Brianna.
