Wow ladies! We are going to meet a lot of women in our beautiful neighborhood and have some fun Friday night! I got the food and wine under control but there are some items I could use that would be helpful. Since I have not had my wedding shower or wedding yet I could use some help with a few items if possible to borrow. 2 or 3 folding chairs, one large table cloth and table placemats. If I could borrow any of these items for the night would be helpful but not necessary. Obviously I can manage without enough placemats just thought it would be nice. I'm going for a sit down dinner!! Fortunately we have enough tables to do this! This is going to be a blast!

HI Alana- This is Sara Towers 138 Claiborne ( you know the one whose daughter was locked in her bedroom, thanks for helping:) Anyway, I was really looking forward to coming but unfortunately I could not find a sitter and my husband works on Friday nights. I would have loved to have talked to you more and get to know the other neighbors. Hopefully, there will be another event soon! Have a great time!

I want to thank all of you who came to the wine and food pairing on Friday night. The gifts of wine, flowers, cookies etc were so kind! I spent the rest of the weekend relaxing and eating desserts while trying a new glass of wine! The eating dessert thing is not so good when you are trying to watch your weight before your wedding day.
I sincerely hope that you all got to meet new people you had not met before. I truly mean what I said that I believe a strong community can affect everyone's lives in a more positive way. If it weren't for the support, advice and referrals from people I met along the way to where I am now, than I would not have the wonderful personal life and career/business that I have now. There is a lot of uncertainty out there right now which is scary for a lot of people (I obviously see this in what I do everyday), so adding more positive to our community can only help.
As for the story about the citizens of Bangor, PA...it's in the book called the "Outliers" by Malcolm Gladwell. It's a very fascinating book that talks about people's circumstances along with their skills and talent that help them be so successful in what they do. We all have skills, knowledge and talents that it is good for all of us in this community to know who to go to for certain things.
Thanks again ladies and I very much look forward to getting to know you better and meeting the women who could not attend Friday night. Also, I love knowing we are the "Women of GG!" Sounds so cool!
