- Annual pot-luck lunch
- our November meeting once again followed its tradition and started off with the Christmas pot-luck lunch where all members brought in their favourite dishes to share
- there were appetizers, salads, casseroles, meatballs, hot entrees, desserts, you name it and we had it – the photographs did not do justice how much food we had!
- Christmas Display Contest
- the rule for our Christmas display contest was quite simple: use a cake plate as the display base
- our creative members had a great time coming up with various displays
- afterwards, they shared their inspirations for their displays and showed us what special material or items they used to personalize their wonderful creations
- Show-and-tell
- Gail and John decorated the stage area with a bare Christmas tree and a few hand-painted non Department 56 porcelain houses
- club members were asked to hang their favourite Christmas ornaments on the tree and at the same time, shared their stories behind their precious collection
- Gift exchange
- members were asked to bring a consumable item for the “gift exchange” activity
- everyone formed a circle and passed a wrapped gift to his/her left or right according to the storyline of Mr. Wright and his family
- as usual, excitement and anticipation built until the story ended and everyone got to claim the wrapped gift in his/her hands
- Charity donations
- our annual charity drive was upon us as the club collected gift certificates for teenagers and canned or boxed food items for those in need in the community
