CHRISTMAS PARTY

                                                                                                                                  Our Christmas party started with a welcome from the new President, Lori Jarmin. We then had our potluck before we got down to business! Lori made a presentation to our outgoing president, Alice Baumgartner.  She received a gift certificate from B & R Crafts.
