The Mecklenburg Chapter again hosted the Annual Alumni BBQ on October
28, 2000, with over 100 in attendance.
Alumni came from Florida, Alabama, Virginia, South Carolina and
North Carolina.
The oldest attendee being Mrs. Lou Belle Sifford (94) followed
closely by Willie (79) and Willis (85) McManus.
The weather was beautiful, the food great and the fellowship
wonderful. As is traditional, the gang joined hands in a circle for grace
and the Children's Home Song was sung before settling in for food,
announcements and 'gate' prizes.
Lot's of hugs, laughs and a few tears made the day special for all
in attendance. We're now looking forward to seeing each other again in May
at the 2001 Homecoming. Take care all, till then!
