Scarendipity 2017 at the Lutherans. Aida

Scarendipity 2017 at the Lutherans. Aidan and I had a great time with the dry ice, and there were quite a few costumes.

Alumni Serendipity at the Lutherans.

The generator ran perfectly, thanks, PRCA! But next year we want to go back to the old picnic ground. This year's Staff Band performance of "Big Time Woman" was awe inspiring to […]

A rain-in rather than a rain out! Even though the building was locked when we got there, Gabbi and I searched the building (clockwise) for a way in, which we found around on Midland Ave. We walked through the building and got the Auditorium doors open from the inside. So we moved all our gear […]
