We do have a special “thank you” to the event volunteers and event planning committee as without your help, this event would not have been a success! A very special “thank you” to Sally Bohon who made sure all of us knew where we were supposed to be and what we were doing, even if we weren’t sure! Rumor has it that Cherry Smith will chair this event again in 2007. Let’s hope she does as she was an invaluable part of the team!

We look forward to next year’s event and we hope that you will be a part of the action!
