21st Anniversary Party Was a Success
Past President Barbara Ford-Ripley (and Hostess), President Sunny Mills and Past President Kathy Souza.
 
President Sunny Mills had this to say about the Party, "It was truly first class, as is Barbara's way of hosting.   Food was plentiful, and all home made. Those of us who attended had a truly wonderful time."
