Gilligan’s Island Social:
2014 Officers:
The Gilligan’s Island theme party at Ray and Diane Wollschleger’s
house was a great success and helped to chase away the memory of
the long, cold winter. A special thanks goes out to Kevin and Kosby
Carrico for lending the boxes and bags of party decorations that turned
the party into a remote desert island. The evening was highlighted with
teams competing in a Gilligan’s Island trivia contest and the best
costume contest, which was won by Bob Gerspacher (Thurston Howell,
III) and Jen Stiffler (Mary Ann). Thanks to all who attended and brought
all of the tropical food. A special note for Benny Shoults’ platter of carved
food and Kathleen Miller’s pineapple/strawberry dish: wow!
Our next social event will be at Steve and Pam Miller’s in June.
