There’s always someone who spearheads an event – our heartfelt thanks to Lillian Noland, who ran with the lion’s share of the work from inception to the final sweep!

Smilin’ Tom packed away the tables & chairs with us at the end of the evening; thanks Tom!
Humble thanks to all the unseen, voluntary, quietly offered little extras that folks spontaneously contributed to make it all work!
