Now it's time. Hake and Peasley meet at the center front of the group, and there's a countdown as they prepare to snip the ribbon.

As the ribbon is cut, everyone lets go of their balloons.

 

Everyone watches as the balloons float away. Now it's time to party!


This lovely cake in chamber colors and with the new chamber logo is the work of Peggy Payne of Peggy's Place.

David Lanterman mans the cake station.
