We would like to thank Nicole & John Palumbo and Kieran & Debra Healey for sending us so many great photographs to help us get the website started. We know more are on the way and we will get them out there as fast as we possibly can!!!

We are also going to add information regarding the amazing businesses in the Santa Barbara area who also helped to make our events SO much fun and SO beautiful!! We figure someone we know may need the info, and we can't wait to do some networking for those great businesses.

We must also do a bit of a "plug" for our website master, Gilbert R. Merkle (Lori's father). Lori is now doing a good deal of the work, but Gil started it all, got Lori going, and still finds time to make sure it is up and running and looking great. We are all so far apart--being able to send this to all of you is quite fun for us. A world of thanks to the MASTER!! 

If you would like to send us a short note, please feel free!
