- Our impromptu meeting got started at the parking lot … as our club house custodian arrived past our meeting start time
- Annual General Meeting
- 31 members were present at the meeting where election of the following positions took place: Secretary, Membership, Program Planning and NCC Representative
- all incumbents were re-elected by acclamation – a great, big thank to Ruth, Peggy, Gail and Helen for their continued contribution to the club
- A celebration of Spring and Easter
- decorations were displayed around the club house to remind us all that Spring has finally arrived
- “Deal or No Deal”
- the March group organized a Department 56 version of the popular TV game show
- the entire audience was divided into 3 groups: North Pole, Dickens and Snowbabies, whose task was to pick folders with “monetary” values while trying to avoid getting “Busted”
- the members of the North Pole group seemed to be able to “see through the folders” and picked high-valued folders right at the start of the game and led all the way to their eventual triumph
- Cherie, Dennis, Susan and Judy did a fantastic job of running the game and keeping its participants engaged and enthralled
- Membership show-and-tell
- club members were encouraged to bring a sample of an activity or hobby he/she enjoys (other than Department 56) and share the experience with fellow members
- in particular, Dennis spoke of his love for pocket watches and Barry of his masterful yet delicate carvings
- as you can tell from the photographs below, our members sure have varied interests
