December Luncheon
Our December luncheon was a huge success with everyone dressed in their Christmas sparkles.  Members enjoyed shopping the Members' Market for those perfect last minute gifts. With no set program, everyone had plenty of time to catch up with each other between shopping and lunch!   Gorgeous little pointsettias were won by 12 lucky members during the post luncheon drawing.  Piano music added that touch of the holidays.

Fashion Show
April 18th is our Fashion show, presented by Maxine Williams and her beautiful models. However, she is looking for those ladies that would be interested in modeling. This is a tongue in cheek show, so size 8 bodies are not needed!  Please call Maxine if you might be interested, and she will then set up a meeting for all those that wish to participate, and explain the show.  She could use up to 14 models.  A fun time should be had by all.
