Donna,
Attendence for various reasons was off this year. We had 6 members attending and 4 other guests from the Bakersfield HER2 Sisterhood..
I did take some pictures, but we are currently under voluntary evacuation due to the fires here in San Diego. I had my daughter take a quick photographic inventory of the house and the she and Christine went over to the evacuation area.
We do not really expect any problems as we are quite a distance away from any open areas, but I stayed behind with my garden hoses ready.
I will update our status tomorrow.
Regards
Christine

Joe,
It is so hard for us to understand the situation CA is in. Glad Christine and your daughter have evacuated. Please, please, please be careful.
Many thoughts and prayers are with you and all of CA.
