What a Great day!  As to be expected the Dawn of Hope residents and their staff had a marvelous day on Boone Lake, and as always, expressed their sincere gratitude for this wonderful event.  It turned out to be a perfect day with amazing weather and calm "seas".  After an interesting morning of lake navigation by the residents we headed for "Tucan Landing" for lunch with the Dawn of Hope crew then departing post festivities with their grab bags in tow.  Untold Thanks goes out to all of those who donated and participated in bringing a day of joy to these folks.
            Shortly thereafter, our annual Lake party ensued with an awesome turnout!  For those of you who couldn't make it, we missed you.  The mashers got to enjoy jet skiing, boating and priceless friendship at lakeside.   Aaron and Cindy Hawkins provided their homemade pork barbeque which was spectacular!  (Actually I'm craving some now...) and of course we had all the "fixins" that were fat-free.  Profuse Thanks goes out to Alan Stevens and Wayne/Debbie Bays for hosting the party!  Let's continue in future years to make this a special day!

        I want to thank all of the following for their part in making Captain for a Day successful. Those who provided boats a big thank you. We couldn't have done it without you. To those Mogul Mashers who had as much fun as the residents, Sonny's Marina who was gracious enough for us to use their dock, Hallmark cards who provided balloons, to all those who provided items for the gift bags, The Dance's for providing Captain For A Day hats, to Veronica who made the great cupcakes, the Mabry's who provided pictures and frames, to the Bays and Stevens for letting us use their dock for lunch. Thank you each and every one of you who participated in this great event.

            I thank you because this is a group effort and shows what a great club we are.  

            The residents had so much fun. Some even ask when are we getting our presents. They remembered.

On this day it maybe God's way of showing all of us how blessed we are.

            Also, a really big thank you to God for such a beautiful day.

        The Capitan for a Day event was another huge success this year.  The Dawn of Hope residents & families really enjoy and appreciate the boat outing and look forward to it every year.  I would like to thank everyone involved whether you supplied a boat, supplies for the gift bag, or helped out on the boats – it was an excellent ETMM team effort.  A special thanks to Betsy Pearce for coordinating the event this year.
