We hope you had a great celebration for the Fourth of July. There was a great turnout on the mall for the Rockin’ Independence Eve<\/strong> celebration. If you took a coloring sheet and made a masterpiece, let us know! A few images from the event are available at Flickr at the end of the Kids Events album<\/a>, or top of the photostream<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also have a few photos from the <\/strong>Annual Meeting<\/strong><\/a> held at Carter Hill Manor on June 28. Many, many thanks are owed to our hosts Tommy and Linda Ross Gibbs for opening their home, garden, and yard to us. It was the perfect venue and everyone seemed to have a wonderful time at the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
