Hello Everyone,

Had a really nice Christmas Party last night.

We had 24 party goers and everyone had a great time. We want to thank William & Judy for arranging the party at the Elks Club and especially a really big THANK YOU to both for donating the $100.00 deposit to the Palmetto Corvette Club. Judy also did a super good job of making roses, chocolate of course, for everyone. Thanks to Gaynell & Judy for greenery to help decorate the tables, as well as Lois for bringing poinsettias that after the party every couple or single took home. We all had  salad, roast beef, baked potato, green beans, rolls and butter, and the club Eddie had a sheet cake made for our first Christmas Event, with the club emblem. It was really delicious. Christmas music filled the air during dinner and a lot of happy chatter, with everyone getting to know each other a little better.

The gift exchange was a lot like give and take, but lots of fun, corvette folding chairs, corvette beach towels and throws were the hit of the evening, seems everyone wants a corvette chair. The toys we all brought will be donated to United Ministries, an organization that can give the toys to the truly needy. We will deliver them next Saturday morning to the Ministry. We will meet at 9:30 am at the Bank of America parking lot on Liberty & Hwy. 15 to caravan to the United Ministries building. Perhaps, we hear, the press may be present. But it looks like some fun toys will be in the hands of lots of kids for Christmas.

After our party we gathered in the parking lot to take a drive through Swan Lake Iris Gardens to view the Christmas Lights. It was very chilly but a beautiful sight and great way to end a fun evening.

See you all next Saturday at Drew's Blues Cafe at 4:30 PM .

Till then, Lois
