Our Annual Christmas party looked kind of 'iffy' this morning with threat of icy conditions. But we are hardy Maine gals and we came from several towns to meet at Koleen's. Pictured below are Sue R and Koleen, our gracious hostesses. They had worked hard sitting up tables and chairs and of course all the little details and Koleen's beautiful quilts made for a wonderful atmosphere. They also had some fun games to challenge us.
Our table with gift exchange is always popular. Amazing how different each gift was and how it fit the person receiving it.
A surprise for Pres. Barb...Sandy and Sherry whipped up this box of 12 Days of Christmas with cute surprises. Lots of laughs as she opened each one.
Our Members in attendance - hopefully I got a picture of each one and
I can get their names straight.
Some did not make the party for various reasons and were missed.
