Liz and I would like to wish everyone a happy and healthy holiday season. It is a fun time being with our family and catching up with friends who you haven’t seen as much as you would like. This is the time of the year where I actually enjoy shopping. I used to drive my mom crazy because I would buy one gift and get two things for myself. I could always see her hold her breath when she asked what I had bought as she was one of those who did most of her shopping before Thanksgiving. This Thanksgiving will be something new for me. We will actually have a bunch of people in for the meal as opposed to the small family dinner of four. My son is cooking (yeah!) and I get to taste it all. It is fun sharing dishes that were part of other family traditions and listening to the stories of past. I am really excited about this year’s program. We have had a great couple of months so far and the program is becoming more interesting as we move along. As a result of their efforts our committee chairs and members have added to our membership and e- student affiliates. Many of our new members attended our auction in November. It was fun watching Paula Becker and the out-bidding of each other going on. More >>>
