Party #5 - a New Year

Completing her goal of 5 parties in 5 weeks, Carolyn successfully wrapped up her fifth party this morning with a ward New Year's breakfast.  Let me remind everyone what this woman was involved with since December 1:

Dec 4 - Choir party, hosted and planned party for about 15 people
Dec 12 - Ward Christmas party - planned, purchased food,  assigned responsibilities for party with 200 attendance
Dec 19 - Office Christmas party - hosted, planned, and coordinated party for 15 people
Dec 27 - Activities committee Christmas party - hosted, provided about 50% of food for dinner party with 12 attendance.
Jan 1 - Ward New Year Breakfast - planned, purchased food, assigned responsibilities for party with 150 attendance.

It may not seem like much to some but as her disabled "half" I can really see all the effort that she puts into these parties and once a month is a tremendous load.  Once a week is rediculous.

I was tasked with putting together a slide show of last year's activities.  Using PhotoStory 3.0 for Windows I put together about an hour long presentation complete with "moving" slides, music, and some simple titling.  Since it was the only "program" for the morning affair people were pretty much a captive audience.  Even so, they seemed to appreciate the show.
