February Thaw was a blast as it has proven to be each year. We had our usual amount of problems at the start but managed to get past everything and turn it into a wonderful time with all our GWTA friends and family.
We had 4 chapters in Iowa represented as well as several couples from Nebraska and one couple from Illinois. It was really great that we could have everyone come over and participate in our fun. Everyone came and did exactly what we wanted them to do. Have a good time and enjoy the camaraderie.
Our bingo game and Oldiewed game went over very well. Everyone had a great time with these. We have been asked what we will do to outdo the games for next year. I am not sure what we can do but we will attempt to come up with something.
Our dinner this year was fantastic. Catered by two of our very own members , Rich and Tina. They did a fantastic job and we received numerous compliments on the dinner. I wish we could have had this good a meal in the past years.
Nebraska chapter Z came prepared with a skit to share with us all. It was absolutely hilarious and we thank them for doing this to entertain us.
Those that couldn't make it missed our Region Director dressed as Richelle and participating in the oldiewed came with Michelle and Doug Sullivan. This was a good time. Rick did a good job of getting into costume and into the spirit. I am sure we can round up some pictures somewhere.
Lots of good conversations were heard going on and we got to meet a lot of new people. I noticed that a lot of people got out of their comfort zone and moved around and met with other people. This is what this event is all about.
Plans are already underway for next years Thaw and we hope that we can get a great turn out. We truly do love putting this event on and getting to see our extended family.
