Summer Potluck a Great Time!
The day began and ended with the sun shining on CHRS members, their families, friends, one dog, and one turtle who attended the CHRS summer picnic potluck on June 2, 2007, at Westerville Heritage Park. Not even a downpour of rain half-way through the day could dampen our spirits!
The event began with people mingling and swapping "bunny" stories, renewing old friendships, and making new friends. Eventually, food was added to the fun and delicious favorites were enjoyed by all! Following the meal, we sat back and relaxed as winners of the raffle prizes and door prizes were announced (see first two pictures below). In addition, three awards to recognize outstanding volunteers were presented to:
1) Teresa Martini - The Gus B. Curry Meritorious Service Award for providing foster care, website assistance, and post-operative care for Capital Area Humane Society (CAHS) rabbits;
2) Judy de Roche - The Annie M. Curry Volunteer Service Award for her exceptional dedication to the rabbits under CHRS care including fostering in her home and devotion to the CHRS/CAHS shelter program;
3) Chuck Curry - certificate of merit for his years of work in building the CHRS chapter and Make Mine Chocolate! Campaign.
Following the award presentations, Bunny Bingo began! As usual, this game was a big hit and kept Julie Schram (coordinator for the picnic) "hopping" back and forth with all kinds of bingo prizes. For the more energetic types, there were also outdoor games including Cornhole, Badminton, and Croquet. Something for everyone!
To wrap up the day's events, winners of the photo contest were announced which included Laine Kathary's Wilson (Bun In Action), Kristen Lassiter's Cupcake (Cutest Face), and Megan Metzger's troup (Buns and Friends).
All in all, it was a good day!
