Hi All,

I would like to thank the forum members who attended the soiree tonight! When you ask for this group to bring food, they REALLY bring FOOD.   What an amazing layout, and what a delightful night.  The slide shows were great, too, thanks to Ellis, Phil and Karen Johnson.
Thank you all for your wonderful contributions and cheerful help. 

Kudos to Diane Blake who pretended that I was managing the soiree, but who REALLY was the heart of the operation.  It was a pleasure to assist her but certainly she is able to run this operation singlehandedly it in her sleep.  Thank you to Ed, as well, for the competition screens, and to Al and Ellis and Ed and Donna for the pre game hauling and set up help...and to the numerous kind souls who pitched in throughout, holding out until the bitter end. 

Hope those of you who were not able to make it this year will put it on the calendar for next year. 

Kathleen Barnes
