An overflow crowd showed up at The Celebration at 1:00PM Saturday, March15 for our (sometimes) regular funcheon meeting.  The overflow came from more folks than expected and we had to re-arrange the tables and wound up extending an extra table out into the restaurant proper.  What a pleasant predicament in which to find ourselves.  We had about 34 folks show up, some seldom seen at these meetings and others never seen before at one of our "regular" meetings.  It certainly was a pleasure to see so many folks at one time.  We agreed to make our next meeting at Pat Doak's again for our annual picnic in June, date and time to be announced.  With Helyn and I both taking pictures, there are a bunch to see here .

For the 3rd year in a row the Doaks hosted our annual picnic.  We finally got Denese to come out on a summer day and it was the warmest in 3 years!  So warm that it was a little too much for Yvonne Minshew, who caused quite a stir among the late lingerers when she fainted, apparently from the heat.  Lewis and the rest of us were extremely alarmed and called the EMTs.  She was alert and responsive by the time they arrived, and seemed to be okay; but she gave us all quite a scare!  Before that, we had the usual good time and good food and fellowship.  Thanks to the Doaks for being such good hosts!  For some pics, click here .
