The charming host was John O and we enjoyed his gracious hospitality in his lovely home. He served tasty Dubliner cheddar cheese and pretzel crackers and various drinks. Janet provided the main dish, delicious manicotti. May supplied a wide variety of Mideastern delicacies including birds' nests. Christine made a party jello salad (lime jello with cottage cheese, cool whip, and pineapple juice). Rosemarie made a scrumptious flan for dessert.

After dinner we repaired into the living room for "speeches," music, and scintillating and amusing conversation.

John presented May with a going-away card signed by those present. He included a photo that served as the prelude for the Shutterfly photo book that she will receive in the near future.
Christine expressed her appreciation to our host with a set of six coasters, each with a reproduction of a Van Gogh painting (including "Starry Night"). John Q performed on his guitar an original song he had written for May, using the tune from the hit Broadway musical "Auntie Mame."
