A recent computer crash has left me without E-addresses. Please share my joy and pardon duplications as I send this to the LISTS to which our friends and neighbors post. I'd rather this message reach all intended parties than miss any of the good neighbors I hope to reach. If you don't think it is meant for you, please feel free to delete. I love the phrase, "It takes a Village...". our daughter, Katie Motyka, will graduate from PENN on Monday and the anticipation has triggered many happy memories and a feelings of gratitude so profound that I know I could not make proper "Thank yous". Ad Katie has grown more independent, she made her own connections. I don't even know all the folks who have helped my daughter and our family toward this happy occasion. I can try to live in ways that pay kindness forward and help others achieve the goals they set for themselves and their children. In a more immediate and specific way, my husband and I can also seed a party with cases of cold drinks and tables staggered under the weight of BBQ and extend an invitation to those who have helped along the way. So... if you consider yourself family, friend or helpful neighbor; if you were a cheerleader or coach (CPY Soccer, SFDS & WC Track & Basketball, Ultimate Disc); if you helped at the day care or after school center at PIC; if you taught (youth choir, child crafts at the UC Arts League, at schools; if you carpooled, tutored, shared meals, befriended us; if you hired me to Buy, Sell or Rent a home for you, or gave work opportunities to our kids; or were a helpful colleague; if you offered constructive criticism, delighted us with your beautiful garden or great holiday decoration, if you volunteered to plant trees or improve our neighborhood, or connected us in any other ways that strengthened our minds and hearts and wallets thus helping us get to this point of celebrating our young adult well begun... ... than please let us feed you on Monday, May 19, between 5 & 10 PM, in our back yard. Come early or late, at your convenience. Come as you are, straight from work. Feel free to bring well behaved children. Feel free, but not obligated, to bring a Pot Luck. Try to let us know, by E-mail, if you can join us, but don't hesitate to come, even if you can't decide until Monday. We plan a simple, but lively summer dinner. We'll supply cold Beverages and fresh Amoroso Rolls, Beef Hot Dogs, Burgers, Condiments, Salad and Cakes, and will set up tables for anything else that our guests want to contribute. We will have a private, family celebration for our Katie, but do want to recognize those who helped us succeed in this, one of our most important goals for our family. All the best! Liz Campion (Katie Motyka's mom)
