Pool Breakfast a hit!
Today, our Pool Breakfast was fun. We sold over 20 Croissant sandwiches and drinks. The jewelry was beautiful by Lisa Keita and her sister, Deborah Clark. Karrie Klimas' Miche Purses were lovely and I got one with two changes. Thanks to Monica Bailey, Dee McCord Ochoa and Marika Guyton for setting up tables, too. Enjoyed seeing our Board Members Sherry Rudolph and Lydia Harris. Also, great seeing Val Parker and Stephanie Crooks. I'm off for the summer, working on my first Ph.D. course. Then, I need to work on some other income efforts, writing, singing, website design. All in all, 2011 has been a very busy year, up to now. Look forward to taking it a little easier for the rest of the year. Here's what's next. . . November 11-14, 2011 November 21, 2011 www.wijsf.org
