Hello Thunder families and friends,
It is with great honor, pride, and enthusiasm to announce that I have accepted the position of new President for Thunder Soccer Club.
First and foremost, my intentions are to create a culture that is inviting, exciting, professional for all. Second, I really look forward to working very closely, particularly with the Thunder Board members, our Thunder employees, and most of all with our invaluable volunteers.
Finally, I’d like to take this time to personally thank all those previously mentioned, those past and present, for all your hard work and dedication. A special thanks needs goes out to Ellie Hallmark, Gina Clapp, and our most recent previous President, Shaun Flemming. It is from all their efforts that have kept Thunder in operation to this day.
In closing, it just occurred to me that Thunder has always been considered the second largest Soccer Club in the area, however, there is no reason we cannot be the best. I look forward to achieving that goal with you all!
 
Warm Regards,
 
Hal Kenny
President
Thunder Soccer Club
