Committee Faire was great!

What a great meeting! I'm sure it had one of the highest attendances since I've been on the board. It was great. After discussing the usual business and hearing committee reports, the board adjourned for some snacks and visits to the beautiful committee tables to meet the chairpersons and decide which committee would be the best match for their talents! The Halloween Committee, chaired by Paige Christy, was decorated with a ghost and delightful witch finger cookies and other delicious sweets! The Bluemont Table had a gorgeous blue vase of home-grown flowers and the Memebership Table, chaired by Jen Chambers had enough energy to supply the whole room full of members and new members too!

We're certainly off to a great start! Look for a summary of the board minutes to follow! Next on the schedule for HAAC-Halloween. Come to center on Halloween Night, October 31, for some games, spooky music and lots of fun for everyone! Spoooooky!
