We wish you could have stayed for dinner but we all realized family needs comes first. I did pass out most of the extra bags to Chapter Members especially to Bill G., He wanted them for the grandchildren he just knew that his sons will eventually present to him! I never laughed so much over that story. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Jennifer was so very pleased to be present at our Holiday event with us. I believe she will come to several chapter meetings this coming year. Jennifer was so shocked to receive the IPad, she was speechless! She later on thanked several of us who were still there when she left with her family. I gave her a big hug from all of us.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Another big “Thank You” to Larry and Joan Harmon for donating $100 to our chapter in honor of Jennifer.
