Mary brought the salad, Deana and Ken the appetizers and Dane and Glenda the wine.  Dessert was ice cream, fruit salad and little tasty bits.

After a conversation on the pieces we selected what we would work on and were given a blank calendar for March to fill out what we begin to do. It was an empowering conversation.
