What an amazing community! Thanks for a fantastic movie night!

We had a great time at our movie night last week!  Our vendor was in a car accident two hours before showtime, and we had to sub in some of our families' home AV equipment to make the movie happen; we are so thankful that spirits remained high and grownups remained patient!  Thanks to everyone who came, helped out, enjoyed themselves, and made our FMES community such a special place to be.
