Christmas Social

Fun was had by all at the Christmas Social on December 6th. The food was delicious and the holiday mood was made even brighter by the live music provided by Bill Wright on his saxaphone.

Debbie Tam and Kathie Robers were presented with their embroidered paddle covers for scoring 96% on the Rules Challenge. For anyone who missed this the first time, we will offer the challege again in January. (Detils will follow.)

Thank you to Barbara Burns and Pat Smith for all their work in setting up the beautiful decorations.
