Local Chapter

We all gathered together on Saturday, Dec. 3, for our annual Christmas luncheon at the Highlands at Vista Ridge in Roseburg. It has been awhile since we had seen each other.

This year we filled a dining room table with stuffed animals for the Douglas County Family Center. There were bears, dogs, bunnies, parrots, and even a duck. I think I even saw some puppies with bunny ears. The family center is an organization that helps Douglas County families at risk of abuse problems of many kinds. The center works with the whole family to break the cycle. Michele, from the Center, gave us a great presentation and we gave the family center a $200 donation. It's nice to know our money is used locally.

Becky cooked a wonderful main dish and everyone brought side dishes to go with the meal. We ate like royalty. We exchanged gifts and continued with the catching up with each other.

Looking ahead at the year to come, we're all excited to see what great adventures await us.
