HOLIDAY PARTY
The holiday party that we had to postpone from Tuesday, December 15th is still on for the 12th of January. The club will be depending on members for the main course this year along with the finger foods and desert. So far, we have lasagna, chicken surprise, corn casserole, tossed salad, potato salad, spinach dip in bread, taco dip, cheese & crackers, candy, rice pudding, five other desserts, including sour cream coffee cake and death by chocolate. We will have punch, mulled cider, coffee, tea and hot chocolate. We will also celebrate our January birthdays at this party. We will still have our grab bag for those interested. Gifts should cost about $ 5.00, men bring a gift for a man and women for a woman. Please advise us if you will be coming. We really need to know how many will be attending and what you would like to bring. Come join in the fun. It is a great way to beat the January blahs. Hope to see you. If you are going to attend please contact Mary Ellen at - 845-758-5133 ext 57 - Thank You.
