Another year came to an end, and we happily spent an evening with a wide range of both new and legacy members.
It marked the close of an eventful year with three successful productions and quite a few smaller events as well.
The Committee proudly presented the 2026 GAOS award to Keith Hayward for his continued dedication to the society, even from afar, both as our much-appreciated webmaster and archivist and in the pit, playing and helping our Musical Directors, even when called upon at the last minute.
The Committee also thanked Lauren Stocker for her amazing support and skills as she stepped down after serving on the Committee for the past two terms.
