Thanks to Kathy Holland who was a busy bee snapping these photos. As usual Carol Noble presented an “all you need to know” program. We found out that we aren’t very bright “bees”. The photos of Carol gives you an idea of the fun we all had.
Many thanks to all who set up, cleaned up, chef and bakers, photos (Marti), and entertainment (Carol Noble and Rich Pike).
Thank you Linda Coffey for choosing great restaurants and for organizing our group.
The audience roared for Carol Noble’s creative genius as again she continues to entertain us and enrich our lives here.
So the winners are: Best Overall Susan Hoekstra, Best Dessert Sandy Fore and Spiciest Sandra Manning, Best Other Than Red Shirley Thompson, Hotest Diane Spear. Shirley Thompson and Sandra Manning tied for Best Decorated
What an amazing send off Kathy Holland and crew organized for us yesterday. Many thanks to that team of volunteers who created the event in honor of Nadine.

Many thanks to Cynthia Rizzo for her work on last night’s program. It was beautiful. And to team of residents who set the stage. Laurie again didn’t disappoint so listen to her on the videos with these photos. Cynthia’s selection of readings for the candle lighting ceremony were perfect and those that read did a fine job.
The stars twinkled too!
