Holiday Party
by David Waugh
We had our annual Holiday party on Saturday, December 18 at the Lakeside Café on Ocean Avenue between Junipero Serra and 19th Avenue, San Francisco. Thirteen of us enjoyed a choice of chicken, steak, or fish along with a delicious green salad, bread, and vegetables. This was a gift from the Club for our hard work during the year on our shows, displays and sales. Members also enjoyed wine and dessert at their own expense.
Members who wanted to contributed to a Holiday gift exchange. Each drew a ticket to see which present they got. This added extra spirit to the Holiday celebration.
