Dear All,

I just wanted to put out a report now since we won't meet as a whole group again until Sept.  We had 5 girls and 2 adults attend on Thursday night to help decorate the float.  The girls were only there for an hour and didn't have a lot to do.  We need to thank Jim and Cece W. for being there with the girls on Thursday!

Those same five girls stayed at our house, went for a walk, ate dinner and dessert, watched a movie, and they stayed up talking half of the night.  But they were quiet enough to not wake us up!  The next morning Shelby joined the group and we headed out to participate in the parade with 6 girls (plus John and I). Jim, Cece, Katie, and Alex cheered on the girls and took pictures from the parade route.  The girls emptied their candy bins and handed out lots of fliers.  It even poured on us for a few minutes but the girls never wavered!  Afterward the adults took everyone to lunch at Wendy's.
 
Everyone who attended talked positively about participating again next year.  All of the men on the float asked if we would come back next year to help again.  Our girls did a fabulous job and my hats off to them!
 
Thanks, Sue
