Local Chapter

What a great Christmas lunch we had at the Claim Jumper restaurant. It was great seeing everyone. There was lots of visiting with a lovely setting, the tables were decorated, and the food and service was great. Suzan had decorated beautifully and made sure each table had goodies on it.

Millie and Sandi from AZ surprised us. No one knew they were coming—what a welcome surprise. It brought back many memories for those of us who were in the club when Millie and her husband were camping with us, and then Sandi started coming and driving for her mom. We also got to visit with honorary members, Kathy, Dewey, and Ash. What a treat.

We hope you will all come back and have lunch with us at Willamette Valley Country Club, Canby, OR, Jan. 23, at noon. Call Jim Dutoit at 503-263-3363, cell 503-709-3205, or e-mail Dutoit@CANBY.com. We will be having luncheons until March when everyone returns from the south.

We did our usual canned goods for the food bank. Suzan sold raffle tickets for $1; Jack won $10, and the proceeds, $83, will go to a charity that we choose next month.

Helen and Corrine played Santa Claus—lots of nice gifts. Everyone seems to enjoy our gift exchanges.

All good times must come to an end, so we leave another Christmas and year behind us. May the new year bring you good health and all the joy you can handle.
