On Saturday, September 20, 2008, Minis and Friends visited a group of ‘Good Friends‘, who meet together every 2 weeks for a few hours. Most of the ‘Good Friends’ are young people with disabilities, so they enjoy all kinds of fun and crafts and snacks, and this time, we and our minis got to join in with them.
We were invited by Jan Kerchiville, Donna Clendennen and several other ladies who hosted the group to join them. We met at Jan’s house here in Georgetown for a visit from Minis and Friends that LCRA had donated to ‘Good Friends’. When we got to the house at 2:30 PM, there were about 2 dozen people! Some to watch the festivities, some to do and help do the crafts, others to help with the horses, and others who kept the cold water coming. The craft for the day for the Good Friends was decorating horseshoes which were to be used as frames for the pictures taken with the horses. Kim Sullivan, Jan, and several others, took pictures of the day’s events, and we’re excited to share those with you on the website very soon.
One of our minis who went with us was Cajun, and he found a best friend named Stephen. Stephen hugged
Special Friends
Cajun so much that by the end of the visit, Cajun kissed him which made Stephen’s day! Cajun who is a beautiful horse belongs to Stacey and Amanda Drane. Milli and Sterling, who were also there, belong to Jonathan and Melinda Fox. All three minis worked beautifully together to make the afternoon a great success. Our thanks also go out to Marcia Erickson and Cynthia. You helped out tremendously!
Days such as that one reminds us of our original goals and special memories that will be far reaching during the upcoming years. We thank Jan and Donna for the invitation. Minis and Friends would love to meet up with the ‘Good Friends’ group again at the Buddy Walk, on October 19, 2008. The Buddy Walk is the yearly fundraiser for the Down Syndrome Association. It will be at Reunion Ranch in Georgetown, For those who have not been to the Buddy Walk, it is a great day with food and fun and festivities. We hope to see you there!
