Sorry, I was so excited to see Myron at our meeting that I forgot to take a photo of him.  Myron, we were all glad to see you and we wish you continued recovery.

I think Tom is the last of our snowbirds to return home.  We're glad everyone had safe, fun holidays.

Evening meetings are fun because fun partners are with us.

Here's Emilie ready for her presentation.

Guests came out to hear her.

Duane, Jill may want an explanation about why all the money was wine-stained.

Who took home the recipe for these and made them the very next day?  (Actually, Emilie, they were really good.)

Alex and Vance received their 25 year pins from Ray.

Here's Emilie with her host families.  They look like pretty ordinary people, don't they?

Or do they?
