What a wonderful evening. I would like to give a special thanks to last years board. They worked very hard to make it a fabulous year and we appreciate everything they have done. Working along side the board were amazing officers and members who made the year wonderful. It was so nice to spend an evening honoring them and realizing how much they have done for the SAA and it’s members.

Thank you for your warm welcome and support of the new board. I would like to say on behalf of our board that we are so grateful for your support and are so excited for the upcoming year.

If you are trying to stay away from sweets don’t look at the photos of the decedent chocolate deserts. They were truly phenomenal. What a great end to a fun evening.

Thank you for a great year,

The answer to the door question is "KCOM Medical school" The building with the door is just north of the old Travelers Lodge. Check it out sometime, it's a cool door.

Check back for one more contest:)

2 contests...2 prizes.

With my historian responsibilities coming to an end I have decided to do a few little contests and reward two little (and yes...they will be little) prizes.
So here is contest #1: This is a picture of my favorite bright yellow door in K-ville. The contest is be the first person to post a correct answer to the following question: If you are standing in front of the door, facing in the direction Chloe is, which building would you see to your left? Kinda fun, but kinda hard. Anyone can enter this contest. I will happily send you your prize if you don't live in K-ville.
Post your answers by March 20th.

Contest #2: Doesn't involve anything hard, it's not really even a contest per se, I just want to see who checks this blog. Please just post a comment before March 20th. I will have my husband just draw your name out at random. Out of site people also can enter, I will send you your prize in the mail. I thought it would be fun it you posted an answer to the following question. If you could be a animal, which one would you be and why?
My answer: I would be a monkey because it would be pretty awesome to eat a banana with my hands, bounce a ball with my feet, and hold onto whatever I was sitting on with my tail-all at the same time.

Cooking Club-Asian food theme.

We had a fun March cooking club. Katherine came up with an Asian Cuisine theme. People were very creative with the food they brought. Like shaking beef,coconut crusted tilapia, homemade fortune cookies, orange chicken, lettuce wraps,teriyaki chicken, etc. As for me, I brought white rice (original, I know) We had good company, good food, good time.

Humphy's and the Holmes.

Kyrsten Haas, Sandra Z, and Melissa Bell.

These were a group favorite. Lacy and Matt Guy came up with these creative "sushis". They were made from rice krispy treats and fruit rolls ups. Way cute and delish.
