Christmas Party Recap —Margaret I. This year’s Christmas Party took place on a cold, blustery, Saturday. Everyone managed to arrive with sumptuous food to share and wonderful door prizes to donate. It was so nice to see old friends and some members we haven’t seen in a long time. (i.e. Steven K.) We had some new people, Valerie P. and Andrew K.. Lynn L. had a really special cookie craft for all of the children. The food was delicious and we had an extra special dessert. Kale and Cheryl L. shared their prize winning Chocolate Toffee cookies. (Their recipe was published in the Journal/Sentinel!). We had some little ones from the I. family, Harper and Preslee. Our other children were Sophie and Molly C. and Kale L.. Thanks to Mark L., Kale and Sophie for leading us in some Christmas carols. And lo and behold, who showed up, but Santa himself with a bagful of toys. Santa was jolly and everyone got in their photo ops. We ended the day with our door prize drawing and there was some wonderful gifts. Many thanks to: Ed J. for the use of his beautiful facility, Nancy J. for set up and reservations, Lynn L. for crafts, Irene B. for bringing the ham and rolls, the entire L. family who bought gifts,and helped with the program, Mickey M.for making sure the buffet table looked nice, Bill S. for taking photos, and Sophie and Kale. And to Robbie M. for his acting skills. Without all this help, the Christmas program could not have been such a success. Thanks to everyone for attending and helping out at the end with clean up. It is always special to share some time with each other before the Holidays. We are so fortunate to have such good friends.

General Meeting Recap —Nancy J. The General Meeting/Game Day was held on Saturday October 12, 2013 at Wilson Commons. (Ed’s residence). There were 15 people who attended the event. The meeting started with the reading of the minutes to last years meeting.  During the meeting, nominations and the election of the board members were voted on. (The current board agreed to stay on for

another year). There was also a recap of the Treasurer’s and Membership reports along with the events held during the year. Of course after the meeting we had the pleasure of feasting on the delicious food that everyone brought.  Yum Yum. We have some really great chefs in our group. Those in attendance had the chance to watch the Badger game, play dummy rummy and boogle. So far, no one has come up with a new name for this event (since it is now held during the day and no longer in the evening).  Please put on your thinking caps and come up with something for next year.
