THe SRC Winter Party was a Hit!

A good 50 people--our members, their loved ones and friends made it. And I think a lovely time was had by all.

Heartline's food was superb as always, there was music, laughter, nog, and drinks for all. The wacky  gift exchange was a riot. The waterbabies took to the pool inspite of the chill in the air. The bravest stuck it out till the very end for piano playing and melodious harmonizing by anyone left standing!

Thanks to everybody who helped make it so much fun. We all helped to make it a great party. Special appreciation to those who came early to help get things set up: that's Scott, Sydney, Eric and Linda Haggard and more. Eddie couldn't be with us that night, but he put up the decorations that Ted had been good enough to provide. Harold made it possible to enjoy the deck by lending his magnificent flame-tube heater--something to bear in mind if you have patio heating needs of your own! Jeff  provided the showstopper when he made his appearance as Elvis. And James Ball, piano player extraordinaire (yes, he really can sight read music upside down)! And so many more made it special in so many ways! We missed Linda Damita, called away at the last minute, Linda Rogers and Kathleen and Dan and Peggy and Patti. who had so wanted to be there, and everyone else who wasn't able to join in the fun.

A few items were left behind (which is the main reason for this posting): a man's camel suede jacket, a couple of gifts, some food which I ate, and some unopened drinks and cups which I will bring with me Wednesday to be saved for future celebrations.

Thanks again to all! And see you again soon!
