Happy New Year! For those of you that missed our Christmas Dinner, we had a wonderful dinner, great service and a friendly bartender. Randy opened the meeting in place of President Mark (unfortunately home with a cold). We recapped the year of events and celebrated the hard work given by those responsible for the Coin Show, the Salvation Army Bell ringing, and the Boy Scout Merit Badge Clinic. Lyal reported from the Nomination Committee the slate of officers for 2016.
We had two students (new members) with their parents attend the party. Members received a door prize and played Lets-Make-A-Deal with the remaining prizes. Dave Hunsicker conducted our annual Christmas party raffle with fabulous prizes. Everyone left Happy with Christmas Cheer! A Special Thanks for Cathy Poirior for organizing our Christmas Party.
