President's Message . . . Cheryl Lombardo
It is hard to believe that this year is drawing to a close. We ended the month of April with an enjoyable and entertaining general meeting celebrating the success of the much anticipated MOSD SpeakEasy. As Event Sponsor our support was crucial! I would like to thank all our members who participated and helped by way of the "Friends of Subsidium" sponsorship, the "Spirit Pull", acquiring auction items, purchasing tickets and working the night of the event. With the SpeakEasy behind us, our year is not finished. May is going to be a busy month beginning with the MOSD teacher appreciation luncheon, the BRAT golf tournament, our year-end dinner meeting at Owen Brennan's and finally the MOSD 2013 class graduation. My goals this year were to bring added energy and vitality back into our organization and build our membership by increasing the social element this year. I believe we have done that! I am seeing a stronger attendance and participation by our membership. Subsidium is growing . . . we welcomed seven new members this year and we are not finished yet. Your gifts and talents make this a truly unique organization, one to be proud of, a sisterhood, where lifetime friends are made. It has been a pleasure to work by your side. I cannot thank my board members enough for all of their hard work, dedication and cooperation. I have complete faith that Subsidium will continue to grow and be a dynamic part of MOSD and the community. With Mitzi Ware, our 2013/2014 President at the helm we are in good hands. Fulfilling the duties as president has been an act of love, not duty. It has been an honor to serve as your 2012/2013 president.
MOSD Executive Director, Teresa Schwartz

Dear Subsidium Friends, I want to thank all of you for everything you did to make the SpeakEasy a huge success. The auction items were wonderful.both live and silent. The restaurants were diverse and the food was wonderful! I was really pleased at the Subsidium Spirit Pull. All of the bottles were spoken for before the night was half over! I appreciate how you helped with preparations and decorations and made the night fun for everyone. Thank you all again for helping our children.

Subsidium welcomes new members Anna D'Olive and Maria Gutierrez. We are excited to have them with us! Our thoughts are with Susan Edmonds for her father's recovery of cancer and surgery, Cheryl Lombardo's father-in-law's recovery from surgery, and Valerie and John Kinch who were recently hospitalized. Deepest sympathy is extended to Beth Webb in the loss of her mother.

The Easter Bunny (new member Linda Salisbury) was a big attraction at the Easter party! It was a perfect morning for the children to find eggs outdoors on the playground. Many thanks to the members who were there as we accomplished a fun task and hopefully made lasting memories of our "special kids". All are invited to the MOSD Graduation and Farewell celebration on Friday, May 31st. This year there are 9 students who are graduating or leaving to attend a new school. The ceremony will be at Kingsway Church at 9:30 a.m. followed by a reception with light refreshments at the school.
This slate will be voted on and installed at the May general meeting. We still have an open position of president-elect. SpeakEasy "Wine & Spirit Pull"

Thanks also to members Kyle Wiltse and Sylvia Creedon, and also Michelle Lombardo and Jennifer Creedon for doing a great job of working and promoting the wine sales. Let's do it again next year!

Sponsored by Subsidium "Wrap-Up" What a fun evening and you could feel it in the atmosphere. Or, was it the sounds coming from the band, or smells from the amazing restaurants, the great auction items to be had, winning at the game tables or enjoying your beverage of choice? Too many great things happening at once! Guests even had an opportunity to "pull" a fine bottle of wine for only $20 and a photo-op with photographer, Richard Ramsey. Note the picture of 23 "ladies of Subsidium" who were at the party. Thank you to all who made this evening a very enjoyable and successful one! BRAT Golf Tournament The BRAT is an annual golf tournament held in memory of Stephen P. Bratkowski and is hosted by McVean Trading. Subsidium members volunteer to work at this event and the club receives a generous donation for our efforts. We are looking for volunteers to pick up out-of-town sports celebrities from the airport on Friday and Saturday (May 17-18), and others to work at the dinner/auction on Saturday evening (18th). Sunday the 19th is the day of the tournament and we need many volunteers beginning at 7:30 a.m. and throughout the day. This is always a great opportunity to enjoy a beautiful day on the golf course and spend time with your Subsidium friends let me know which day you can help. And . . . thank you to our very own Michelle Brown for "plugging us in" to this fundraiser.
