THE 2nd NY
ADOPTION ANNUAL PICNIC
Our 2nd Annual NY Adoption
Picnic was held Aug 6th - 8th at Whitney Point, NY in Broome
County at the home of Cathy and George Seltzer. There were 50
actual list members in attendance with a few guests that were
prior list members or potential list members. Total attendance
including spouses and children neared 200. Games for the children
were well organized and you would hardly have known they were
around! Food was in abundance and a wonderful time was had by
all.
One highlight of the picnic
was a candle lighting/closing ceremony at which poems were shared
and songs were sung by all. It was very emotional for all of us
and there was not a dry eye around. I would call it a
"bonding ceremony" as the ceremony forever bonded those
of us that were there to share it.

pictures of that memorable day.
