WINTER RETREAT 2010

 

In January, we had a fun retreat at Dayspring Episcopal Conference Center in Parish, Florida.  Even though the weather was quite cool, the scenery was beautiful, the classes were inspiring, and a great time was had by all.  In fact we had such a terrific experience, we have booked to return next year!  As always, just click on the photo to get a better view.

CHRISTMAS PARTY 2009

 

The party this year was held by kind invitation of our Chairman Bev Leasure.  And I really do mean by KIND invitation.  Not many people would host our group party on their own birthday.  We decided to surprise Bev with a birthday cake and gift.  The festivities finished with our gift exchange.  Here are a few images.  Click on them for a better view.  Enjoy.
