  • Parent Empowerment Network Pool Party, 2003

    On July 3, 2003, the Parent Empowerment Network held its Annual Pool Party at the Whitehall Pool and Tennis Club. Six of our families were able to join us, and a wonderful time was had by all! Below please find some photos of our gathering.


    most of the whole group

    This is a "group shot" of most of the partygoers: Kevin, Carolyn, Sabra, Christopher, Bob, Susie, Nancy of the Middle Names, Trish (foreground), Fred (background), Pat (Trish's Mom), Diana, and Jennifer. Next year we'll be sure to get a formal group shot where everyone's facing the camera!

    Carolyn and Kevin

    Our special guests this year were Carolyn, Kevin and Christopher Clark. Christopher spent his time in the wading pool and was too busy to hang out with the boring old adults. We really enjoyed meeting and talking to the Clarks, and hope they can come again next time!


    Access Bob

    Psst... Don't tell anybody! Access Bob went off the diving board! Gave the lifeguards a heart attack, and the kids got a real thrill! And John and Trish can prove it, too... as soon as they can figure out how to post their video to the website! Stay tuned!

    sabra

    And this is Bob's lovely wife, Sabra. We're glad she could join us this year!


    Nancy Jane

    Nancy Jane... who brought wonderful baked potatoes... and made the "chicken cups" to entertain the little ones. (You'll have to ask her about those...)


    ron

    ...and her hubby Ron.


    Parent Empowerment Members at the grill

    Some of our group hung out at the grills and grilled their own burgers and veggie burgers. Yum! (L to R: Syd, Mark, Kory, Ron and Nancy Jane.)


    John and Steven

    Here is Trish's CRABby Hubby, John, holding Steven--a.k.a. "Stitch!"

    Kory

    And here is Kory the Swimmer! Kory is the son of Syd and Mark.


    Nancy and daughter Susie

    This is Nancy of the Middle Names, with lovely daughter, Susie, who has grown a lot this year!


    Diana, Caitlin, Calli, and Jennifer

    This is Diana, daughter of Trish and John; Caitlin and Calli, daughters of Marc and Jennifer; and Jennifer.
