Under clear skies and warm evening sunshine, members of Unit Nine gathered on Friday, May 30 for the group’s beloved annual Ice Cream Social, hosted this year at the welcoming home of Ron and Lee Thomas.

The highlight of the evening w as a delicious spread of ice cream catered by the popular local vendor Licks Ice Cream. Guests had their pick from a unique trio of flavors—classic Rocky Road, nutty Pistachio and the adventurous Vietnam Cinnamon—each a hit in its own right.
To top it off, a wide variety of toppings were available, including rich chocolate and smooth caramel sauces, crunchy nuts and an assortment of colorful sprinkles, allowing each guest to craft their own sweet masterpiece.
