A packed crowd of SAW “Boardies” and friends turned out to honor Jean Bayou for her long service to SAW at a special SAW Board Meeting and celebration at Epicure Café on 22 Nov. As a former Mid-Atlantic Song Contest Director and SAW President for the last 8 years, Jean was honored, roasted, and serenaded well into the night. Following a great dinner and short business meeting the festivities and Bayou-roasting commenced. Current and former board members, SAW Associates, and close friends made this a super special occasion.

As Jean reminded us, we seek the comfort of coming together in song. I wish everyone could have been there.
