The Holiday Party was a great success with plenty of food and an enormous fundraiser table. What a nice way to wrap up the year.
Special thanks to departing chairs Lori Macgowan (membership) and Jeanne McDermott (fundraiser table) and to Alan Stauch (fundraiser "plant wrangler"), for all their time and effort.
