In November we celebrated Founders' Day at the Charter House. Beverly Bollard served as chairman and did an outstanding job. Joining us for lunch was Janet Whitson of Alpha Omicron. Evelyn Gramp presented the program "Skoal, Scandinavia" including slides of her trip to the Scandinavian countries. The end of the month found us at the Iroquois Gas Company for a program titled "Reflections of Christmas" under the chairmanship of Norma Martin . After a delightful cooking demonstration the tasty dishes that had been prepared were raffled off to some of the lucky observers including President Kay Baxter who didn't have to cook the next day because she won the main dish. December caught us in the Christmas spirit. Mary Bolton entertained at our scheduled meeting which we combined with a Christmas party. Later in the month on a beautiful cold snowy evening Pat Nichols opened her home for a holiday punch party where all enjoyed good food , good drink and good conversation. Edie Eckert
