One of the social events of the spring took place on Sunday, March 26 when John Guinto and Ronald Boyce celebrated their new life together with a commitment ceremony at the Renegade Resort. The Reverend Keith Goheen officiated as they exchanged their beautifully written vows. Bob Mason and Lee Cook of Footlight Productions gave the guests chills as they performed songs such as “The Impossible Dream,” “This is the Moment,” and “All You Ask Of Me.”

A reception followed at Café Italiano with a cocktail hour and full buffet. The crowd danced to the sounds of area   DJ and karaoke host Sandigirl, who played an assortment of music from “I’ll Always Love You” to “It’s Raining Men.” Lee Riddle did an incredible job making and decorating the 3 tier, 3 flavor wedding cake of vanilla, chocolate, and banana. Following the reception, a stretch Limousine awaited the happy couple to take them to a secret destination.

On the home front, Debbie Smith proudly  sported her horse Sonny through the CAMP Courtyard after he helped her raise the highest   dollar amount at the Spring Beach Ride-Walk 2000, a fundraiser to benefit the Southern Delaware Therapeutic Riding Program. The non-profit organization offers equine‑assisted therapy for individual adults and children with disabilities and life threatening diseases. The 10-mile journey took place at Cape Henlopen State Park, where hundreds gathered to walk, ride, and watch as money was pledged for each mile accomplished, totaling over $8500. For more information on the programs available, call Katarina Burroughs at 645-2780.
