Parent Party

We hope that by now you have received your party invitation, and that you will all join us for a great evening at the home of Michelle and Arthur Fulmer (1570 Riverdale Road, Germantown) on Saturday, November 12. We really appreciate their hospitality as our group is able to celebrate our years together as parents!

Food and beverage arrangements have been made for the event, but we ask that each parent would contribute $10 ($20/couple) for the evening.  Your check will serve as your RSVP and can be sent to Kim Jordan at 199 East Cherry Circle Memphis, TN 38117, or you can pay via Paypal to [email protected].

We would like to finalize our head count by Wednesday, so please get your RSVP to Kim by then.  If you have any questions, email Kim Jordan.
