Mary Jane LaVigne invited us to an event at House of Balls. Dennis Gaboury and his wife spend most of their time in Zimbabwe, working with orphans. Juliette and I purchased a couple of the dolls made by the kids in Zimbabwe. Thank you, Mary Jane, for inviting us; Alan for hosting; and Dennis for doing such an important thing.
