Thanks to all who participated and to Bob coordinating, I know it was stressful. I have been there. Did what I could in contacting members on Sunday and Monday. Had the misfortune of having to work on the day of the event. From the feedback, looks like all turned out well.

Thanks to all. I was in a panic last week and everyone came thru! Heard
nothing to great feedback. The gathering folks were most pleased by the way
we got the guest talking and having fun. Next time we need a warn up act
for the crowd, Pal's the man! You had to be there.
In the past Diane has posted pics on Shutterfly or similar. Will notify as
soon as I hear which one.
