December 16th Program:
Embracing Each Other
|
Gift and Cookie Swap: Dec. 15 at 10:30 am
Embrace each other on Friday December 15 at our annual gift and cookie exchange. Aurelie Barrial is hosting at 711 Burning Tree Dr.
Aurelie will demonstrate how we can minimize trash even when celebrating with a large group of people by using realplates, utensils, and napkins rather than disposables.
If you want to participate in the gift exchange bring a gift, $20 or less. Gifts can be seasonal or not. Decorations, fun serving dishes & trays, jewelry, and scarves are some of the items exchanged at past events.
If you plan to participate in the cookie exchange, bring three dozen of cookies to swap and a separate empty container to pack up the cookies you're taking home. Most importantly, bring your merry/happy selves!
If anyone needs baby sitting for this event, please email Belinda Vogel.

The book club enjoyed dinner at the home of book club hostess, Janie Kissling with author Bill Venema and his wife Teresa. Everyone enjoyed Arroz Con Pollo, corn muffins, Kale salad, Spanish corn/black bean salad and chocolate caramel flan. Bill wrote "Death In Panama," which the book club ladies who attended, strongly recommend to the women's club. Bill graduated from West Point and received a degree from University of Virginia law school plus an MBA from Georgia State. His book deals with a JAG prosecutor with the military in Panama. The main character prosecutes a US military man, accused in the murder of a baby in a court martial case. The book represents, not only the death of a baby, but the death of the character's innocence and his marriage. Bill explained that some of the book is biographical and he shared the process of writing and publishing it.
