Tibbits Booster Board Volunteer Tibbits Booster Newsletter Meet Your Board Member Angela Washburn, President SEPT 2016 If you do not recognize Angie Washburn, then you probably have not been to the Tibbits in quite a while. Angela is the current president of the Tibbits Boosters, and has been a house manager for Tibbits events for several years. If Angie isn t busy being a house manager, you can find her working on getting volunteers for booths at the county fair and local festivals, recruiting new volunteers, helping out in the office, and in previous years assisting with the Tibbit s Young Audience shows. Angie (maiden name was Pierucki) is a Coldwater native and with her husband of 22 Wonderful years Ken, has raised two daughters, Cheryl and Erin. All of the Washburn family have been involved with the Tibbits since 2008. It started with her youngest daughter being in the Tibbits Young Audience play and blossomed from there. In addition to raising her daughters, in her spare time, Angie is a Avon representative and a 4-H Organizational Leader for the Odds & Ends group for seven years. There is not much time to have any extra hobbies for this lady. Angie stated that she feels fortunate to live in Coldwater and have Tibbits be an integral part of her life. We, at Tibbits, feel the same way about Angie. ATTENTION ALL TIBBITS VOLUNTEERS, FOUNDATION BOARD, & STAFF S A V E T H E D A T E MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 19 is the Annual Booster s Board meeting.

Thank You! What a summer! Two classics, one new and edgy musical, and ending with a belly laughing farce, there was definitely something for everyone. My personal opinion, one of the best seasons ever. We kept our volunteers hopping this year, using less people, and dealing with the parking lot complications for the patrons. Won t it be wonderful when the parking lot is completed this fall? We all are looking forward to seeing the end result. Hats off to how well the volunteers handled all the challenges.
