Wednesday night was the Mexican Fiesta Welcome party. Some attendees dressed appropriately. We had Mexican hors d'oeuvres. Jane Rasor did a super job with the food. I loved it. Very unique!
Thursday night's theme was "Exotic Asia." Again, some attendees chose to dress accordingly. (Some of us had too much else to think about and suitcases that were already full!).
Kevin Wilkins had a good time with the "Exotic Asia" theme and everybody else enjoyed his costume as well!
This was my table group on "Exotic Asia" night. They are (front row left to right):
