Thanksgiving Preparation 11/19

Our speaker this week was Pat discussing Thanksgiving Preparation.
She did a fabulous job motivating us for the holiday season fast approaching, and excited to use what we may already have to do as women do best... make things BEAUTIFUL!
We even had a contest (see pictures posted). The Emerald table proved to be a real gem by presenting the best centerpiece. So much fun to see all of our creativity come to life!

Gold did a great job on the food. Woah, how about those sausage balls or that creamed coffee cake, among many other new favorites!

Mom's Night Out at Aunt Chilada's was reported to be a great night out! Be sure to check out the pictures.

Reminder … our Book Group is still meeting every Wednesday night at 6:30 pm at Casey’s house. It is not too late to join.

Save the date for our second annual Cookie and Candy Exchange (during Dec 17th Meeting). Participants will make 4-5 dozen cookies/candies to be exchanged. Please email Nicole nrlane5@yahoo.com with your name and type of treat you are planning on making to avoid duplicates.

The Bronze table is in charge of hosting our next meeting on December 3rd. If you have any questions please contact our table leader, Noelle Gallivan.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Operation Christmas Child 11/5

Our speaker this week was from Operation Christmas Child. She presented the recent trip they took the Dominican Republic to hand out Operation Christmas Child boxes. She showed us what happens to the boxes from when they leave our hands to the child who receives them. We will be putting boxes together individually and dropping them off at the next meeting on November 19th.

We also made some great caramel covered apples. Great job ladies on your creativity! Be sure to see the pictures posted.
