Next up on the Thank You πŸ™ List is my definition of a Role Model and her Father πŸ‘¨. Proud to know them and to have them as Neighbors !!!

Tiffanie and Tracy Moore – I know that our Dancing πŸ’ƒ skit was captured on Video πŸ“Ή and it would be an Answered Prayer if someone πŸ™ recorded the Speech that Tiff gave yesterday afternoon.

Β  The only thing that was not scripted throughout the day was handing my microphone over to Tracy Moore. Having spent an afternoon at their 🏑 in downtown Dugspur, I knew that he would be as equally elegant as his tough as πŸ’…πŸ’…πŸ’… Kiddo.

I truly feel Blessed to know this Father & Daughter !!!

  Trying hard to create a balance between Serious and Slapstick throughout the 210 minutes is a greater challenge than one might think.

Everything that falls under Respect simply had to be treated with the proper care. Things that are on that list is God, Family πŸ‘ͺ, Country, Community and Education.

Having Alvin Davidson speak was as easy of a decision as there was in the entire process. His combination of Eligence and Intelligence βž• his ties to Cavalier Park = Winning.

Tammy Quesenberry gets the credit for securing our new Superintendent for the event and once we had him it was my job to make sure that he would be properly introduced. Alvin checked a great deal of boxes for me yesterday.

Mr Huff is being pulled in many, many directions as he starts his new position and I wanted my opportunity to show him that he has my unconditional support. Not sure what value that has to him or the office but it was the right thing to do.

Gracious, Gracious Man πŸ‘¨πŸ™!

Last bu not least, Mr DeHaven. Having Kevin there meant a great deal to me because when you are chasing Inclusion, it helps to Include everyone who has an interest in participating !

The Day was a greater Day because of this trio of Leaders….

Note πŸ“ – Bonus points to Mr Huff for remembering that we first met just over three years ago..

Once again, Mr Thompson was gracious enough with his time and energy !

  Greeting each of the current Lady Cavaliers + Carlie Beamer ( pictured above) with a Rose 🌹 and a smile, added another layer of personal touch to our Red Carpet Fashion Show.

Nothing but Love & Support for our Principal, today and everyday ❀…

The goal was to have our Alumni Day Gala be kicked off in Grand style and Thanks to Patricia Lineberry we did just that.

The group opened with a beautiful version of the National Anthem and followed it with Happy Birthday πŸŽ‚ as we had two Ladies in the House 🏠 celebrating their Big Day. One of them turned 80 and her Son wrote a very special Birthday note πŸ“ to her !

Let’s call πŸ“ž this one – Remember the Night πŸŒ™ in the Tri-Cities Airport where Duke’s rally fell short but Velvet Leonard made sleeping 😴 on the floor tolerable by sending Wonderful pictures πŸ“·

Someone who thought he was making a good decision by leaving Cavalier Park and stopping by Patrick Henry High School 🏫 and then heading towards the Tri-Cities Airport, errored by not checking the Sports calendar.

Lin is landing tomorrow morning at 10:47 am and everything was right on schedule until I noticed that it was the Bristol Night Race 🏁 and 100 miles up the road the University of Tennessee was hosting the Georgia Bulldogs. That 1 – 2 πŸ‘ŠπŸ€œπŸ€›βœŠπŸ‘Š = No hotel rooms to be found. Oops…

Β  Every time I create an event in Carroll County, Virginia, the young Lady that I refer to as our 3rd Daughter has been right there for me to frame the Moment. Today she even had an Assistant with her to carry her Camera Bag πŸŽ’ and Chris did it with a smile on his face. It might just be me but I think he’s kinda sweet on her !

Thank You #2 go to Laynie-Jo Leonard’s Mom πŸ‘© and Dad πŸ‘¨β€β™₯
