Jan 2 HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

12-31-13 HAPPY NEW YEAR’S EVE!!!

Thanks to Mike & Terri Long for once again graciously hosting our Holiday Party on Dec. 28!

Everyone enjoyed great food, and even better fellowship! Thanks also to Tom Mohr for making arrangements and getting the ham etc., and to all who brought food or beverages to share. (Tom has already signed up Mike & Terri to host next year, too!)

About 10 members attended the Dec. 26 “non-meeting” at The Palace Restaurant. (Unfortunately, illness prevented me from going.)

I hope that each one of you celebrated this season with family and friends from near and far.
