| NEWS:1) Thank you Steve Fratus for hosting the2008 Post- Transplant Games Halloween Party! We all had a blast on November 1 in Steve's gorgeous Castro Valley home. Thanks, everyone for driving in the rain to get there and bringing great food! We had witches, cavemen, hippies, a naughty policewoman, skimpily dressed girls, even a head-hunter! Lots of laughter, lots of memories, lots of love between teammates- that's what Team NorCal is all about! Thank you Cathy for organizing this party!
