Our Christmas potluck dinner party was held at the Courtyard Suites in Grass Valley. Photos were taken during social hour. The party grew to approximately 30 members. There were a couple of show & tell. Ardy introduced four new members. Maureen Garrison, Pat Gillings, Lorna Straka and Margaret Vodicka. Announcement that member Linda Taylor is progressing with her stroke rehab. Lorna Tiller missed the party due to some hip problems. And we had our annual gift exchange.Looking forward to 2012 challenges, activities and lots of show & tell art pieces. Happy Holidays to all and a very Happy New Year.
