Merry Month of May 5/12/17

Wow! What a great way to kick off the 2017 Bubb Park Mothers & Dogs Society Potluck In the Park! 91 people, representing 34 families (and 10 wonderful dogs) kicked off the season in great style. We had a wonderful mix of some of the founders of BPMDS 17 years ago, and at least 5 new families to help carry on the tradition. While some of the founding families were missing while their kids graduated from high school, AND COLLEGE, we were graced with beautiful familes with brand new children.

Despite blustery winds and cool temps, most everyone hung in there until we took the Annual Picture about 6:45. Then the kids dashed for the cake and cookies, while parents wanted to get the little ones home.

A continuing "Thank You" to George Jacob for picking up, delivering and returning the tables, and to Doreta Strotman & Vera Kark for providing them!

Here's the list as best we got it. Let us know names we've missed, and we'll add them. Enjoy!
