Shirley Walterhouse and award winner Patricia Warr. Pat is a founding member of the group and acts as historian. She has been very active in all our projects

Support is the reason for our group and it comes from so many sources. One of the most important sources is our family members. Some of us have had outstanding support from our families and we felt it was the proper occasion to honor them at our anniversary celebration.
