2nd ANNUAL POOL PARTY

OUR 2ND ANNUAL POOL PARTY was a great success!! Thanks again to Joy for arranging the facility -- it was so amazing! The Clubhouse was complete with a kitchen, large lounge area with big screen tv and lots of comfy sofas, chairs and spacious eating area as well as a great outdoor patio!

As you can see from the photos everyone was having fun... we even had a few teens to help feed the kids!!! We had over 40 people in attendance -- it was such a great time and we are planning to do this every year so remember to mark your calendars in July for this event.

The kids did a great job decorating for the tropical theme ... there were great give-a-ways for the kids to take home! Joy and the boys did a great job grilling the burgers and we had lots of salads, chips, cookies, and ice cream to go around!

Thank you to all who contributed and a special thank you to the clean up crew that left the clubhouse looking better than we started - awesome job!! Should have gotten a picture of Joy H. vacuuming using one good arm!!! Thank you all for making it such a success!!!

MAY'S CELEBRATION BANQUET/CLOTHING EXCHANGE

This was our second year of MOMS and we ended our year once again with a Celebration Banquet and Clothing Exchange! Thank you to all those that supported MOMS throughout the year. We could not have done it without all the wonderful mentors and volunteers that shared their lives with each one of us.

Chef Luis from Food Services at Calvary Church prepared a wonderful buffet which consisted of Praline French Toast, Egg Casserole, Hashbrown Casserole, sausges, bacon, bagels, fruit, coffee & juice - it was awesome.

We took the opportunity to thank all of our mentors and leaders with gifts to show our gratitude for their servanthood. The childcare workers also had the opportunity to share the banquet as well with rounds of applause and gifts from the MOMS as a small token of our appreciation for all the love and care they have provided throughout the year.

We had tons of clothing for the exchange that ranged from infant to adult. It was so much fun to shop without having to take out your wallet! Thanks again to all those that made the year so successful especially our mentors, Diane M., Diane H., Rosie, Rebecca and Mary - you ladies are such a blessing!
