2022 Holiday Party

On December 8 at 11:30AM we had our annual Holiday Party. This year we had it in A3 Dining Room A. It was very nicely decorated from previous parties. We had Prime Rib luncheon served by the catering service. The food was great! Some club members brought desserts to share as well. We tried to find a volunteer for the open secretary position, but none was found. Send me an email if you would like to volunteer. We had a good time eating and chatting. See the slides below and raffle results.
