It was so good to see OCF friends, Jerry, Christine B, Anita, Susan Mushock, Chuck Feeney!!
The weather was absolutely perfect, lots of food, great speakers, live music and lots of awareness of oral cancer!!!
More pictures will be posted soon.
The date for next year is 9/24/11!! So mark your calendars!!!
And remember, this Saturday, October 2 is the Bethlehem walk, so come out and support this event as well!!
Thank you!!

I really liked the speaker who told his story. I did get a chance to talk with him and he was very happy to meet me and the other OCF people. It was very nice seeing you again and getting to meet a few new OCF friends like Anita, Chuck and Katie!!!! As always it was great to chat with Jerry. I am lucky that I live close to Susan M so we got to ride together. I hope some people who are in the area can make it to the Bethlehem walk on Oct 2. Susan M works very hard to pull that together. It would be great to see some fellow OCF members there. Susan, thanks you for everything you do!!!

So glad you could make it!!! So good to see you again!
It was so great to see so many OCF members there, it can be our reunion!! I wish Sue Boyle could have made it, I did not see her. Maybe next year!! Also Suzanne Gallo, maybe next year she will bring the baby!!
I thought it went very well, and loved the speakers too!! Katie is great and so is her whole family!! I loved their shirts, nice way to honor her husbands father.
I hope alot do attend the walk in BEthlehem, I know how hard Susan works on this.
Thanks Christine, for all you do for OCF!! You are amazing!!
take care!!
