A Night of Magic for our ladies at the Mother's Day Banquet

What a great night we had a First Baptist. To think that our congregation could put on a dinner and show for our ladies that featured one of the most talented young performers in America is beyond belief. But we did it. This year's Mother Daughter Banquet featured a turkey dinner by George Rezendes and served by a number of men in the congregation. It also included the talented singing of Miss Connecticut 2007, Dana Daunis from Watertown, CT.

Dana was one of the top 3 talent winners at the Miss America Pageant this year and she came and performed a forty minute set for us. After her show was over she stayed to sign autographs and have pictures taken. It was a hit for fans old and young. Boy did she make an impression.

Special thanks to Melinda Brick for organizing the event and to George and OB for working in the kitchen all day. Our waiters this year included Bobby Adams, Ray Deptulski, Bob Duntz, Mark Kane, Mark Rogers and Gary Schuster.

I've included some photos for those who couldn't make it this year. I think they will give you a sense of how special it was.
