Surprise b-day party June 2010

Sneaky sneaky sneaky classmates/friends...........A June 26 cookout has been planned for weeks - which was to have been attended by those who helped work the Dec 2009, and April 2010 Van for Courtney fundraising events. What was unknown is that many others were extended an invite - and the gathering was a surprise party for the Irminator. It was great fun --- a few pics posted for your amusement. It was great to see so many of you - but I'm gonna single out Rhonda Fox. How wonderful that her recovery has come to the point where she's up to social events.

Not sure who to point fingers at for brainstorming/plotting this surprise --- but I wouldn't be too far off base to single out the following: Trisha, Sheree, Elaine, Karen, Diane, Susan, Doris, etc etc

Some guests must have hidden from the lens of the cameras....here's what I have so far -- photos 'lifted' from the Facebook pages of Sheree Short , Trisha Styron, Linda Hastings, and my own.

Enjoy.....
