Dear Friends,
I’m writing to you from Myrtle Beach, where I’m spending
a few days with my girls and their children. We’ve been having
a great time swimming in the ocean and walking the beach. Next week
I’ll have some pictures to show you.
Michelle Berrier, Judi Berrier, Pat and Cathy Williams at the dinner
dance.
The 50's Dinner Dance at the convention was rockin'!
Cindy Dayton was the cross stitch competition winner.
What fun the Collectors’ Convention in Ames, Iowa, turned out
to be! I saw so many old and dear friends this past weekend and made
quite a few new ones, too.
Al Sandstrom enjoyed the attention of the beauties of the 1950's.
These costume parade participants portrayed the Moss print Happy
Birthday.
Mary Lou and Fred McMillan heat up the dance floor.
I want to thank everyone who came to see me and all who participated
in the fundraising events. Preliminary totals show that we raised around
$8,000.00 for the Foundation for Children’s Education. The money
will be used to support more children’s programs at the museum
and to help out schools that would like to incorporate our ideas for
art activities into their own curricula.
Pat and son-in-law Corrado twist the night away.
Susan Rix of Finishing Touch Gallery won the popular choice award
in the framing competition.
Mike McFall and Laura DeRamus were crowned King and Queen of the
Dance.
Lance "Elvis" Allen of the Society shows off his moves.
I hope you enjoy the pictures I have to share with you. Everyone looked
terrific dressed up in their ’50’s costumes for the Saturday
night Dinner Dance. I must confess that I turned in somewhat earlier
than most. There were many who “twisted the night away!”
Love,
Pat
