Fall Social Extravaganza!

Hi gang!  I'm Janine Coleman, your current President, to review a fantastic fall social put together by our social chair, Jaymie!
As I'm sure many of you know by now, it's a Pumpkin Carving!  Several TJA members devoted a few hours on October 24th to visit the beautiful Roxbury Park and decorate some pumpkins.  Myself included, there was Michelle (our Membership Chair), Dawn (our Scholarship Chair), Jodie (our Treasurer), Kendra (our Editor), and then new members Janel and Logielyn!!!  With snacks provided by Jaymie, we set off to work:
 Dawn brought her signature pumpking carving apron!

 Michelle taking time out of carving to flash us the "Fight On" sign.

 Janel was rather speedy in her carving.  Her owl was almost done!

I chose a medium-difficulty design.  Note my delicate hacking at my pumpkin.

The proud carvers with their pumpkins. 

And now for your viewing pleasure, some pumpkin action in detail:

the traditionalists:
I love how freaked out her pumpkin looks!

Us girls had a wonderful time continuing in the tradition of TJA's Annual Pumpkin Carving.  Now granted, it was only our second time, but I can easily see it as a continuing institution for our group.  Happy Halloween all!
