While there was a lot of room for improvement, for our first time coordinating an event like this we did pretty darn good. I made sure to make notes throughout the day for next year, so hopefully the 50th anniversary will be even more awesome. I'm already excited and planning!
As part of goal two, I taught the Women of Purpose to bake some good old American dessert, which they got to sell as part of their fund raising efforts. Practically all of Sunday was spent rolling out dough and mixing batter with the ladies. They learned to make apple pie, brownies and snicker doodles. It was absolutely adorable hearing Mavis try to say: snuckerdiddles, snugarduddles, snuggledoddles?
The Friday before PC day we celebrated William Murray's birthday with a beach camp out at Banana Bay. Everyone brought some food (I brought cookies and cake of course). Will had requested strawberry rhubarb pie (the MOST unrealistic request for this island) but we had to make do with what I could manage from frozen strawberries =( Geoff and Kim have a portable grill so we had us some hamburgers.

Unfortunately, at the end of the beach trip my face looks like I walked through a bee hive because of all the bug bites I got. I think a different beach might be a better idea next time...
