| June Social |
On Saturday, June 9, 2007, a group of 24 APPA members and friends gathered at Carino’s Italian Grill in East Point. It was a time of renewing friendships and forming new bonds with others. After lunch, entertainment was provided by Vicki Crowell as she presided over many games of bingo. Thanks to David Jones, Thad Lewis and Cheryl Hollis for the prizes. If we were to give a prize for the greatest distance traveled to attend, it would have to be shared by Herbert and Barbara Ruecksties coming from Oxford, Ga., and Jack and Lynda Dillman coming from Covington, Ga. Both couples traveled about 100 miles round trip to be with us. Way to go! Once again we can say that a good time was had by all. |

November Meeting Dr. Donald Leslie, Shepherd Center Medical Director, spoke to APPA members for its November meeting. As a life-long member of APPA and the compassionate Polio physician for many of APPA’s members, Dr. Leslie’s annual appearances are very popular and highly attended. The meeting took place for the first time in many months in the newly expanded and refurbished Shepherd Center (SC). The meeting took place in their new cafeteria at the Ground Level. Future meetings will be scheduled in the new auditorium. To read notes from Dr. Leslie's talk, click here.
