As always, we're grateful for those who worked to make this fun evening possible. Special thanks this year to Anna Morshedi, who organized children's activities, to Michael and Taylor Sevier who set up, decorated, and cleaned up afterwards, and to Richard McKay and to all the many volunteers of the Men's Group and the Parish Life Team. Thank you all!
