Diamond Life Master Party for Mike Graham Huge Success -- Everyone had a great time celebrating Mike Graham's acheivement of Diamond Life Master. Every club in Unit 225 was represented as well as special friends from Shreveport. Also on hand to help him celebrate, was his mom and aunt!

Mike gave a huge thank you to Janie Wolaver for planning the celebration and to her helpers for staying late to set everything up. Beth Hankins wrote and presented a very special poem outlining his journey from novice until now.

Needless to say, everyone looked dazzling in their denim and diamonds, especially the lady in the red rhinestone cowgirl hat!
