T.L.C. Home holds 22nd Annual Dinner Meeting

A festive atmosphere was evident among the folks who gathered at Chief Paul's restaurant Monday evening, September 20, 2004. The founding families of t.l.c. home were specially invited to join in the celebration, not only for the 22 successful years since the inception, but also the retirement of the mortgage loan.

Guests socialized as the Board members conducted a brief meeting. The new officers along with the new  directors of the board were approved. The board welcomes the following individuals: Beverly M. Badgett, Joyce Edmonds, AJay Ajmani, M.D., and Ophelia Pivett.

After a fantastic dinner those present were dazzled by a special slide presentation telling the who, what, and where story of t.l.c.

President, Kent Daughtry presented awards and recognition to the board members who rotated off this year. Several existing members were recognized for their special contributions through the year. Two individuals, Walt Borge and Matt Sakurada, who volunteer their time and talents were presented with a gift bag.

The Director of the home, Nancy Borge, was acknowledged for the great job she is doing. Kent Daughtry presented her with a beautiful framed water color illustration of the t.l.c. home.  The founding families were also presented with framed printed of the same illustration.

It was a great evening. You can see more photos here.
