The weather was perfect, the chili was hot and spicy, the kids had a blast.  One of the au pairs, Natty from Thailand, came dressed as a pirate.  Her Community Counselor, Cindy Garruba, awarded her a gift card to Bath & Body Works!  Fun was had by all who attended, especially the au pairs who volunteered!  They loved the music by the band, too!october 2012 094
