Congratulations, Hilary!!

Last night we attended the Shasta College 2009 Induction Service for Phi Theta Kappa. Here's a re-cap of the night, told through pictures. For those of you who missed my blog on Hilary's acceptance, I will, once again, quote from a letter Hilary received: "Congratulations on your academic achievement! As a result of your dedication to scholarly success, the Phi Theta Kappa chapter on this campus extends to you membership in the International Honor Society of two-year colleges. Membership eligibility is based on the number of hours you have completed and your outstanding GPA; therefore, membership is a special honor afford to a small group of outstanding students..."

    And second, Julie, thank you for visiting my blog (http://hummadeedledee.blogspot.com). I read your comment and am just blessed that God spoke to you through the words He led me to share there. I knew there was a reason, and it was YOU! Hugs to you, from another of Kimmy's 'old' friends...
