| 2008 - NOVEMBER _ BOC MARATHON BEADS (photos by robert simmons) |
|
Both our co-presidents, had prior commitments and could not attend the monthly meeting, so our vice president Renee Taylor led the meeting. Robert Simmons reported that SF Members made a total of 264 beads over the course of the 3 day marathon. On Thanksgiving Day he and Camille Simmons delivered these beads as well as another 250 donated beads to kids and staff - a total of about 600 beads. Robert took the photo of the Marathon Beads and if you are interested in seeing how the ones you made turned out look at the close-ups below. |

the baseball cap.
