I hope you all had a chance to attend our Eighth Anniversary Party. As usual the food was excellent and plentiful, so thanks go to Wayne Stephens for making the arrangements with Little Pig BBQ. The music by our DJ, Jimmy Munn was great as it always is. My thanks to Betty Jeffcoat for helping set up; to Ola Mae Ellisor for handling the dessert table; to Lynn Betterley at the Registration table; to the food servers: Roxanne Burkett, Pat Williams, Wade Wolverton and Wayne Stephens; and to Betty Jeffcoat for serving the drinks.
