A BIG thanks to Ericca Lee for planning a great "Welcome to the Island" celebration for the incoming residents at UTMB!  We had a great turn out and everyone had a blast!  It was the perfect backdrop for a true Galveston style welcome- Joe's Crab Shack on the Pier.

July Monthly meeting

Thanks Amanda Keelen for hosting our monthly meeting and a riveting game of BUNCO!  It was SO SO SO fun!

 A nice surprise-- we were able to pick up our painted potter pieces- here they all are!  We have some very creative women in our group!

 Courtney-the HULK took on Amanda's spice rack... the Cummen won.

 Let the games begin!  It was so great having several "new members" at our meeting!  It is awesome how we have grown this year!

 Keep on rolling....  BIG BUNCO!

 The big winner... Stephanie Sanchez

 The biggest loser Erin Haynes and the most BIG BUNCO's Tiffani Pampalon.

Let's do it again in August! Great time girls!

Shriner's "Carnival"

A few of the Resiterns' women headed to Shriner's Burn Hospital on July 8th to host a "carnival" party for the patients and their families. Our "carnival" was complete with games such as "Spin-the-Wheel," a ring toss, bowling, lollipop tree, an arts and craft station and our biggest hit...a "Candy Walk" in lieu of a cake walk. The older kids LOVED the candy walk! Also a big hit were the prizes and snacks. Who doesn't love bouncy balls, bendable figures, candy, cookies, Capri Suns, cupcakes with sprinkles and popcorn? The kids and families at Shriner's sure loved it!

Resiterns wants to thank our members (and a friend of a member!) who were able to come in the middle of the day on a Friday afternoon. It was kind of a tricky time with our members who work and have kids, but it was a blast for those of us who were there, and it was a joy to see smiles on some sweet little faces. : ) Although we couldn't take pictures during the event due to hospital rules and privacy policies, we'll leave you with a picture of our volunteers. Thanks again, girls!

Painted Potter

The Resiterns' women had a FANTASTIC night at Painted Potter! It is always fun to take some time out of the week and to see how creative everyone can be while we all sit around, paint and laugh with each other. We owe a huge thanks to Ericca Lee for planning such a fun event and for bringing yummy snacks and wine. It was perfect, and we were SO excited to welcome some new faces! 

While we didn't actually get any pictures of our painted pottery, we got plenty of pictures of our sweet Resiterns friends! 

We are sad to say goodbye to Brie this year, but we are SO glad that you could come paint with us one last time. We are going to miss you!

We did manage to get Katie in one shot before she headed home. : )

 Our group picture minus Katie and Stephanie. They had to leave before we could take the photo. 

Hard at work!

Thanks, girls, for such a fun night! I'm already excited about next year! : )
