August’s Family and Friends Night was a true Beach Party celebration! Thanks to our incredible decorating committee, the fellowship hall was transformed into a seaside paradise. Families enjoyed a delicious spread that included octopus-shaped hot dogs, ham and cheese croissants, pineapple meatballs, and plenty of sweet desserts.
This month, we were proud to be sponsored by the lovely Miss Heather Loughery and her family. Heather has been with Able Buddies NC since our very first dance and continues to be a shining light in our community.
The evening was made even more memorable with a special announcement—congratulations to Michele Pratt and Ryan Baker on their engagement! What a joy to celebrate love and friendship together!
And of course, no Able Buddies NC night is complete without games, dancing, and plenty of laughter.
Be sure to save the date for our next Family and Friends Night: September 19th! Our theme will be SAFETY, and we’re thrilled to welcome Holly Ridge Fire and Rescue for a fun and educational presentation—complete with a real fire truck!
If you’d like to join our mailing list or have any questions, email Aileen@AbleBuddiesNC.org.
We can’t wait to see you next month for another night of fun, family, and friendship!
