"Raffle Queen" Judi Kramer gets the raffle rolling!

 

Vamik Volkan is a perrenial speaker at AWON conferences, this year presenting on the topic
of the transgenerational influence of being a war orphan. He's here with his wife and
AWON member, Betty Volkan -- and together they won a prize!

 

The table full of raffle prizes was truly impressive.

 

Jerry Pinkerton won the quilt made by former AWON Board President, Judy Hoffman.

 

Rita Blair won the quilt made by Pat Peters. Above are Sharon Connor, Rita, and Pat.

 

All too soon, the Dave Stanek Singers (resurrected from the Branson Singers),
accompanied by Bonny Carter on flute, led the singing of "I'll be seeing you,"
the unofficial ending of every AWON conference.
