A fun evening of good fellowship, Christmas cheer, fabulous food and a Dirty Santa game was held December 16, 2025, The Studio at Forest Lakes. Much thanks to Shelby Church and the members of Zeta Chi’s social committee for their commitment to a well planned event. Also, thanks to all the cooks for the delicious potluck meal. Lori Blang won the charity fundraiser. Congratulations, Lori! The Dirty Santa game was a big hit as usual, with quite a few steals! If you were unable to attend, you missed a fun evening!
