Barb Hansen’s lovely home was the perfect setting for our laughter,songs, games, and conversations. The committee headed by Linda Russell outdid themselveson a delightful party. There certainly are good cooks in our group. The appetizers were to diefor! An added bonus was the piano accompaniment by Christi Chrisman’s mother (who is also aDKG).

I hope you have Saturday, January 7th, on your calendar to attend our meeting at theWellness Center/Memorial Herman HBU. The Zumba lesson should be lots of fun. We willwork up an appetite for our lunch following the meeting. Details are in this Newsletter.
