J. Franklyn Bourne Christmas Party 2008

On December 18, 2008 we held our Annual Christmas Party at Florian Hall.  The party was well attended.   Even Judge El-Amin joined in with the true party goers as they danced to the Cupid Shuffle.  Although he seemed to focus more on his feet, he was right in step.  Great job Judge!  A great time was had by all! There were many new faces in attendance.  I hope to see each of you at general membership meetings and other Association events.  This year, members were asked to bring a toy or a $10 donation in lieu of a toy.  We collected a lot of toys and $350 with which more toys were purchased.  In this time of recession, it was nice to see everyone so giving.  Thank you to each of you who donated a toy and/or money.   On Christmas Eve, Abigale Bruce-Watson and I presented the toys to Shepard’s Cove, a homeless shelter for women and children.  The Administration was very grateful.  I am sure our contribution brought smiles to a lot of faces on Christmas morning. Sharon Christmas-DeBerry.

J. Franklyn Bourne Christmas Party 2007

It was a pleasure to see all of the members who came to the JFB Annual Holiday Party. Folks ate, danced, watched a movie, and chatted from 7 pm until midnight. Everyone appeared to be relaxed and had a good time. In the true spirit of the season, some of the party-goers brought gifts, which were taken to the Family Crisis Center, along with a check for $100 made possible by Marilyn Pierre's generous return of her proceeds from the "50/50" drawing. Thank you to Holly and Jodi Reed, our gracious hosts. Here are a few photos from the Holiday Party.
