WCA Volunteer Appreciation Dinner was Thursday night, June 23, and was catered very well by Sonny's and served at the WCA building in downtown Wellborn. A guesstimated 75-80 people attending included sponsors as well as members who were volunteer workers. Thank you's multiplied themselves exponentially because everyone knows together we can accomplish so much more than any one of us can make happen by ourselves!.Everyone wanted to thank everyone else The Blueberry Festival 2011 was a success. For me the Appreciation Dinner allowed me a grand finale appearance in my role as Grand Marshal of the Wellborn Blueberry Festival Parade, 2011, a once in a lifetimer, for sure. I wore my magnificent Blueberry Shortcake hat and carried the pocket book to match. (Carmen Hernandez creations). Wendell Snowden was Master of Ceremonies making recognitions of sponsors, committee chairs, and the community association board, He saved the Member of the Year award to the last thing. It was Maso Martin, with a plaque to match, and it was well deserved as shown by enthusiastic round of applause. Bobbi Fenderson tried to put into words the huge amount of respect and appreciation all of Wellborn does feel for WCA President ,Wendell, and his wife Kathie. My Hometown can be forever grateful that Wellborn is Hometown for the Snowden family too.
