Summit Estates is the Condo development that I live at. It consists of four high rise buildings with 261 units.

The attendance at these programs usually do not draw a large crowd. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I get a handful of people.

First time I'm doing something like this so it will be a learning experence.

Isn't the Internet just amazing!! You found an article that mentions the Summit Estates in Swampscott - It's about the 14th paragraph down.

Our residents are not as old as the ones shown in the article. We are no chichens but not quite 100 years old yet!!: ;-)

Funny thing happened - as soon as I posted that picture of me on the computer --I got your comment on Flicker!!

Great outline for your talk, Millie. And didn't you say you're opening with the song, "Thoroughly Modern Millie"? You'll be terrific.

Break a leg, Millie, and tell us how it goes.

How did it go, Millie? I bet you were a hit! And did you entice some more bloggers into our world? If I'd been in Swampscott, I would have been in the front seat.

Hi Terri

It went VERY WELL!!

In order to get a front row seat you would have to have been there very early. I pretty much had a full house.

I'll be blogging about it soon.
