We started the day with a Mexican buffet, mom's meeting, fun one-on-one time with the guys in the afternoon, shopping, and just hanging out outside with them in beautiful warm weather. In the evening, we had a relaxing happy hour and dinner at the Shelter followed by entertainment with a DJ teaching everyone line dancing, which proved to be very entertaining. We also had our second annual silent auction to raise funds for Mom's Club and it was a huge success. It was really a great weekend and the weather was perfect! Sincerely, Kathleen Ueblhart, Mom's Club President Brent Uebelhart '15 with Delt moms Cyndi Roth and Kathleen Uebelhart. Michael Stanchik '17, Christian Richards '16, and Brett Van Blaricum '17 enjoy mom's weekend events.
