Looked like a great time!
The pictures are fabulous
Looks like a good time but it was not a very diverse crowd!
Well maybe next time you can encourage more of the 40+ age group to attend
Hmmm, definitely not a diverse crowd.
Neither is the crowd at the RHADC but no one complains then – if you want to see a lack of diversity go to church this coming Sunday. If people cannot come together in the eyes of the lord they sure as heck are not for an event like this…
Fine looking group indeed and looks like it was lots of fun.
Indeed, there appeared to be tons of sharply dressed men and women at this event.
