We are grateful for yet another successful Highland Belles Spaghetti Supper chaired by Meredith Clark and Alicia Jahant, with the support of Auction Chairs Amy Ditchman and Holly Mathison, and Raffle Chair Katie Walters. Thank you to 100% of our 2024-2025 Highland Belles families for their generous Family Underwriting support. We would also like to thank Presenting Sponsor Johnson Oral Facial Surgery and our Auction Sponsor Vella as well as all of our Corporate Sponsors. We are incredibly appreciative of the decades long support from Amore Italian Bistro. The success of the Highland Belles Booster Club would not be possible without the support of our Treasurer Jennifer Lancashire, Secretary Alyson Engstrom, Public Relations Chair Janice Van Arsdale , Vice President Michelle Shiller, and, most importantly, every Scot. Thank you for donating, supporting, and joining us for one of our most special traditions. Whether the Belles are on or off the field, there is nothing they hold more dear than this HPISD Community.
