Christmas Party

 

 

The Christmas party was a tremendous success thanks to wonderful food brought by the members and the outstanding job of organizing the party done by Carolyn Oyler.  Jim Oates did his usual superb job as auctioneer.  Auction winners left with some great camellias, houseplants, gardening and cookbooks, and handcrafted items to decorate the home.
