THE MOUNTAINEER STAR AWARDS

A warm welcome to everyone in attendance tonight for the 7th Annual Mountaineer Star Awards Ceremony.  It promises to be a bright and shining evening as anticipation mounts, for the spectators as well as the nominees.  Each and every nominee has our admiration for the dedication, commitment, and hard work it took to get on this list. We congratulate the nominees and offer our humble thanks for all you do to make our fraternity the best it can be.

 

SHINING  STAR

Whatever you do, wherever you are, you stand out.  You shine.  You dazzle.  You inspire us by sharing your light, and by always giving us something brighter to aim for.

You light the way.


 

YOU ARE A STAR

Isn’t it amazing how a blanket of stars can light up a night sky? Side-by-side they twinkle together to create a beautiful work of art.  When we shine together we light up the world to make a difference

BEYOND BELIEF.

Thank you for shining with us.
