RECENT EVENTS . . . .

  • On Saturday the girls all gathered at Chuck E. Cheese for a surprise going away party for Kori Thompson. (She was VERY surprised . . . Thanks to her mom for helping us plan it!) We ate pizza, played games, ate cupcakes and opened gifts. Everyone really had a great time - and it meant a lot to Kori to have her Jobie sisters be there for her.
  • Thank you to those who came out to our Spaghetti dinner on Sunday. A special thank you to Mom Schock, Mom Lanham, Mom Wendy and Mom Mona who worked hard in the kitchen! Thank you to Mom Lanham and Mom Abbott who stayed behind from the meeting, cleaned up the dinner and set up for the ice cream social.
