Summer Salad Soiree

Over 50 residents were involved in our Summer Salad Soiree.  Whether they made a salad, helped with the preparation, 'worked' during the sale or purchased from the sale.  It was a HUGE success!!  Residents made and donated pasta salads, chicken salad, cucumber salad, coleslaw, bean salad and much more.  Just look at this spread:





We offered free refreshments and desserts.


The bagger:


The cashier:


After making their purchases residents were encouraged to socialize (after all, that's where the 'soiree' part comes in!).






Lots of time and effort was put into this event but it was worth it, we raised almost $300.00!!! 

Thank you so much for your support, SFP!!!!  You are the best!

Boat Race!

We made little foam boats to race down our creek.  Unfortunately, the Poconos hasn't had much precipitation this year so the water levels were very low.  That's OK, we raced anyway!  We just had to give the little boats some help.



Capsized boats:
Our audience cheering for their boat with their mustache whistles:






It was a close race but boat 205 (we used apartments numbers to ID our boats) came in 1st!

The winner of the Shirley Futch Plaza 2016 Boat Race is Captain Jan!


And just for fun:




SFP residents are so much fun!!  You guys always put up with my silly little ideas - thank you!  :)  XO
