PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE:

Each of our holiday activities were well attended and well done. Many thanks to Dottie McHugh and her committee for our warm and inviting Holiday Party, Santa’s Enchanted Forest. We couldn’t stop dancing.

Wreath Making Day gave us time to plan our December home decorations. There were many donations of greens and holly to decorate, wreath’s, baskets, and planters. Ann Riegers-Mathews was there to offer her help and experience. We met some new neighbors and several just stopped by to have a warm cup of mulled cider and to visit! Visitors are always welcome.

Helen Scholten and her committee did a great job on the Children’s Party given by the association. Our Santa Claus saved the day! There were a lot of young families and parents to help!

Many thanks to Carol DeLucchi for finishing and delivering the new roster for 2007-2009. While our gardens are growing silently underground this month, we are going to play for our January meeting! See our Meeting and Events schedule .
