Christmas comes to Crookwell!

Well where do I start? What a wonderful evening last night! Almost 80 members and guests celebrated another year of friendship with VIEW. The committee have been doing a lot of meeting and planning- and with our collective fingers crossed- the dinner turned out to be a huge success.
Two of our members, Sylvia and Jan have been otherwise engaged. Sylvia has been with her daughter welcoming a new arrival- congratulations Sylvia and family !! Jan has been in hospital after a fall, resulting in a broken femur and other complications. Jan is doing well now and although we missed these two stalwarts of the VIEW experience, we put on our 'L' plates and trainer wheels and did our very best!
With inspiration from Susan we decorated the tables with holly, silver flowers and red berries. Anne brought along her Christmas tree which lit up the stage so beautifully. Bev and myself had spent an evening working out the seating plan and this seemed to work well - looking at the animated conversations and smiling faces around the room. Christine and Ambar are a great team and they effortlessly balanced the books yet again! Justene -raffle ticket queen, Ieva who brought her extensive collection of Christmas CD's and helped Bev to get everyone to their table. Margaret must have walked miles around the room with the raffle draw and Patrice keeping us in the 'loop' with our newsletters and information- what a team!
to anyone reading this we wish you a wonderful Christmas and very best wishes for 2011. VIEW promotes friendship to all :)

Christmas is coming!
