Good Afternoon! After getting a few responses, I would like to move the Christmas party time to 2pm. I also got a text from Shari Neilly and she and Mike hope to be here for the party weather permitting. Please spread the word and we look forward to seeing you on Dec 6.

Good morning! Just a reminder the annual Christmas Party is scheduled for December 6th at 3pm at our house. I just talked with Mike Neilly and he is recovering from a fall at his home. He's much better but his eye sight continues to deteriorate. He isn't likely to attend. Mike mentioned that 2pm might be a better time to start since it will be dark by 4:30pm. Let me know if that is something you think we should do. We hope to see you then. Bring something to drink and something to share as always.
