We held an excellent Banquet on Sunday, 04-May-2008 at the Marriott in Lone Tree. Click on the link to see banquet pictures (scroll down).The Banquet included a mixer (plenty of Shirley Temples), a rose for each Princess, a nice jeweled tag necklace, a magic show, a professionally-taken picture, graduation of more than 30 Princesses, and ... dancing. Everyone had such a great time. Thank you, Willow Creek Circle for hosting this excellent event!!!
