Christine Memmott, Jennifer Tichenor, Kenna Toone, Tara Tobler, Mindy Hughes, Jessica TichenorFor enrichment night this month we had a purse themed night. We decorated with cute little gift bag purses, tissue paper and balloons. Everyone weighed in their purses, we gave prizes for the heaviest and lightest. We had an on-time drawing. Played Purse Pursuit. Ladies got points for having certain things in their purse. Most odd object in a purse...... WE had a bottle of BBQ sauce, a softball, a certified turtle babysitter card( seriously, this exists???). We laughed and had a great time. The food was delicious. We made a yummy Waldorf pasta salad, fruit, vegetables and the the best desert ever. The deserts were only 65 cal. I included a picture and recipe at the end of the post. We heard wonderful speakers( who spoke about the different purses we carry at different times in out lives, and how to find "JOY in the Journey"). A special thanks to my committee (Mary Bradshaw, Christine Memmott, and Melanie Cohen) that helped make the night a success.
