This past Saturday, I had the honor of attending the annual Volunteer Appreciation Picnic. It was great to see all the people that I usually only communicate with by email. I realized too that despite the great turnout, there were still a ton of folks who could not make it! I don't think we could all fit under that gazebo!
Our president, Bill Bryant, along with our other grilling gurus, made sure we had plenty to eat. Everyone brought such delicious food--I made sure to try a little of everything, and thankfully no one got a picture of me stuffing my face, as has been done several times in the past! (BTW--I want to apologize to everyone for the whipped cream--I didn't realize it came straight from the store like that! And if you don't know what I'm talking about, believe me--you don't want to know!)
Volunteers of all breeds and sizes came out to enjoy the festivities, from labs to cockers, from the tall to the small.
Brenda brought a beautiful scrapbook of the memorial garden that her daughter, Sandy, made. If you haven't been to the shelter to see the garden, you are missing out! It's so beautiful and serene.It couldn't have been a more perfect day! The weather was beautiful, great food, great friends, and the chance to let them all know how much they are appreciated for all that they do, and the largest concentration of good karma I've ever had to fortune to witness!
