They had a special photograph table as well - pictures printed out and put into an album as well as enlargements framed on the table for us to take home.

Dave Palmer - Daryl's chair of Finance - served as Master of Ceremonies for the event. Daryl had a special chair to sit in as different people got up to share. These included Melva Sanon, the chair of Church Council; Lenny Shank, the chair of SPR, who presented Daryl with the church gift of a stole; Ann McMurrer, Lay Leader; Ruth Griffith, chair of Trustees; Thelma Shirbaugh, chair of Worship; Terri Silvola-Finch, chair of Missions; and Carole Newlin, Daryl's administrative assistant and the church's lay delegate. Then it was Daryl's turn for a "rebuttal" as Dave called it!

It was a really special afternoon of celebration for Daryl. So many nice things were said and shared. It was unbelievable to feel the love and support in that room.
