On December 27 a few of our members prepared a meal for the Ronald McDonald House Home for Dinner program in Red Deer.
Everyone had a great time at the tobogganing party on December 29. Thanks to the VonGunten family for hosting this fun event.
The Etiquette banquet was on January 2. We learned about proper manners, table place setting and much more. Thank you to our guest speaker, Brenda Schoepp. We would also like to thank Dan and Karen Skeels for sponsoring $500 towards the supper.
