2013-2014 Kick-Off Picnic

I hope you didn't miss it. But if you did, here are a few scenes from the picnic yesterday. I didn't think to take a shot of the food until it was all gone, but Jamerrill got one, so nudge her to send it to me so I can put it up here. The Oakes did their usual FANTASTIC job on grilling hotdogs, and the rest of ya'll went above and beyond in bringing in the sides. And whoever made the loaded baked potato casserole, please, please, put the recipe in the comments. Also rave reviews were heard regarding the grape salad and the pumpkin cake. Let me tell you, this gal left stuffed to the gills.

As you all know, we took up a collection to give Lisa a gift for all the years she served as the HIS group leader. Well here it is:


Tucked inside this gorgeous mum is a Visa gift card and a gift certificate to Lisa's favorite restaurant. Thanks to everyone who contributed.

Since it was National Talk Like A Pirate Day, incoming leader Rebekah Postupak was up to the task. Complete with goofy hat, knock-knock jokes, and the frequent "Aargh" throughout the announcement period, we even had the flags flying high:



Of course, for the picture they are standing still, but the rest of the time, they were flying high in the breeze. :)

Oh, by the way, if you see an opening next to any of the positions on these posters, feel free to VOLUNTEER! We'd be glad to have ya'.

Stay tuned for more announcements to come.
