On April 17, John and I and friends gathered in Telfair Square prior to Savannah's second Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. Over 4,000 participants, 500+ volunteers, and 400+ survivors ran and walked through Savannah's Historic District.

At the finish we enjoyed cold cups of champagne.

On April 25, as neighbors have done for nearly 40 years, we gathered in Troup Square to Celebrate Night in Old Troup Square with a pot-luck spread and BYO beverage of choice. The weather was perfect down to a gnat-defeating breeze.

On May 2, John and I trekked down to Tybee's north beach to view SCAD's annual Sand Arts Festival. Students and alumni competed in several categories. It was great seeing almost the entire student body on the beach having their own version of "Where the Boys/ Girls Are."

And finally, on May 5, John and I drove to Armstrong to walk in the 18th annual Relay for life. This past year I chaired the fundraiser for the event. Over 5,000 people attended and we raised over $300,000! It started at 5PM and ended at 8 the next morning. Many spent the night and some walked until 8. It was a life-changing event that everyone can be proud of.

When John and I registered my car at the tag office last November, I received the last license plate in the series.

My free vanity plate!
