End of Year Holiday Party

It was a fun, festive evening for our 2017 members.  Twenty seven ladies attended the holiday party held at the library.  The presidency had the room decorated so festive with the smell of simmering Wassail filling the air.  We sipped our hot brew and visited before "Benyaki" catering served us a delicious Hawaiian meal of pork, rice and noodles with yummy sauce followed by chocolate cupcakes.  We highly recommend him!!  A few ladies wore their "festive" shirts and sweaters and also leggings!!!  Kathy summarized our year regarding our donations to the hospital nursery and other charitable contributions.  We really did an amazing jobs - pat on the back ladies!!  Our new presidency for 2018 was introduced:  Sally Lyman will become our new president with Sydney Christensen and Marcia Robinson as her aides.  Sally is such a fun lady so I'm sure we are in for a lot of laughs!  They gave a brief summary for 2018 with our first sew weekend to be held January 19-20 at the library.  We will keep our meeting place at the library with general meeting on the 3rd Wednesday of each month beginning at 6:00 p.m. (unless it's a sew-weekend)  All local quilters are encouraged to join us for 2018.  Membership is $20 - PLEASE JOIN US!!  Beginners to advanced are welcome - there is something for every skill.
