Committee and the Department of Public Works as well as Brad Tripp and his dedicated custodial and maintenance staff who made this event possible. Kudos should also go to Fire Chief George Baker and his staff for a safe and enjoyable venue. The 23`d Annual Oktoberfest festival was again a huge success given adequate weather and careful planning. The Special Events Committee did another terrific job in presenting this great community event. In addition, the 3rd Annual Oktoberfest 10K Road Race was again a great event with the continued support of New Balance Mashpee, Harpoon Brewery, Mashpee Police & Mashpee Fire, and the Falmouth Track Club among others. In addition, special recognition should go the staff at the Department of Public Works and the maintenance staff of Mashpee Commons, they went above and beyond to assist the committee in making the event the huge success that it was! Also special thanks go to Brian Hyde and the Mashpee High Cross Country team, and Jim Kiley of the 99 Restaurant. SPECIAL THANKS As always, without special assistance from both individuals and groups, many of our programs and events would not be able to take place. I would like to thank all of our Department Staff for their dedicated support, enthusiasm, and inspiration. Without them, all of the above programs would not be as successful. In addition, the following were instrumental to our efforts: Mashpee School Department, the School Committee and the Superintendent's Office, Department of Public Works, Fire & Rescue Department, Mashpee Police, Town Clerk's Office, Mashpee Human Resources, and especially the Town Accountant's Office who assist us in our many transactions throughout the year. j Special thanks also go to Brad Tripp and Catherine Laurent along with their staff that assists us immeasurably during the entire year. I would also like to give special thanks and kudos to the following groups and organizations that also bring events and programs to successful ends: Kids Klub Pre-School and After-School Staff, Summer Camp Staff, Summer Beach Staff, Mashpee Council on Aging, Mashpee Little League, Mashpee Youth Soccer, Pop Warner Football, the Mashpee High Boosters Club, Mashpee Kiwanis Club, and the Mashpee Rotary Club. Additionally, we would be remiss if we left out the help and support of Mashpee Commons, South Cape Village, Mashpee Chamber of Commerce, and Cape Cod 5 Bank, TD Banknorth, Sovereign and Eastern Banks, as well as Dino's and Zoe's Restaurant (Kids Klub programs), The Mad Platter, Botello's Lumber (Kids Klub Pre-School & Childcare Center), Bobby Byrnes Pub, 99 Restaurant and Anchor Storage (Special Events). Finally, I would like to thank the members of our "Special Events" coordinating group who make things easy for our staff and have taken up the slack when necessary. In addition, "thanks" also needs to go to the support that our department has received from our Town Selectmen and Town Manager Joyce Mason that has been outstanding in being able to assist us by providing the necessary funds to operate the events that are special to Mashpee and that make the town a true hometown community.
