I would like to voice my support for Shirley Masuo in her bid for township supervisor in Shohola, PA. As a former Black Bear Film Festival board member, I can attest to the integrity of Shirley Masuo, and her commitment to the growth and success of Shohola and all surrounding areas.

During my tenure as a board member, Shirley served as vice-president of the organization, and was involved in all aspects of the film festival, from serving on the film selection committee to working with volunteers, to fulfilling crucial office management responsibilities. On a personal level, she served as an active and empathetic listener to any issues or difficulties I faced as the head of the Black Bear Film Salon. Shirley was then, and is now, a reliable, effective and motivating leader.
