President Craig opened the meeting LATE at 6 ++ P.M. followed by the Pledge

Prayer by Dick Gerken

 

Guests:  Bob Maloney, Lisa Davis, Bob-Dad, Laura Boraso [InterAct Coordinator from ILHS] , Shelly and Jeff plus  all sorts of spouses … Nancy, Carlene, Bobbie, Connie, Cathy, Lorraine, Betty, Jean, Carol, SueEllen, Chris, Lucy, Diane, Kate, Chris, Lynn, Brittany and Amanda.  Might have missed someone and definitely misspelled many.  Welcome all!

 

At around 7 PM, after everyone is stuffed, Yankee Swap Guru, Carl Johnson, determined the number of participants, and the party continued with dessert and more.

 

Carl went onto introduce “HIS” rules … yet one more time. This is year #29.

Interspersed with a call to Polly Mae – no answer at first, but success later

Rowdy call to Art & Dell Clough

Many black-eye jokes from Carl … who knew?

 

Looks like the bird feeder was the hot item this year, second only to many and various bottles of liquor. Several were interested in the DNA kit, and Jim Wallace’s HUGE teddy bear was a sure hit for his grandchildren! The overall winner with #1 was Teresa, as usual. And for that she chose the drone!

 

Many thanks to all who participated. Food and fellowship was the best!

 

Meeting adjourned at 8:15 – with good wishes to all for a happy, healthy Holiday Season

 

See you all in the New Year
