A Merry Christmas!

 We met again at Judy Schmidt's this month and enjoyed a tasty chicken vegetable soup with bread.  Thank you Judy for making us warm and welcome!  As we discussed our book, "Cave of Bones", we wrapped gift books for local children.  We also made final contributions to our Christmas Jar and found we had collected $300.00 for one local Entiat family to brighten their holiday!  A Merry Christmas to all and a save, healthy and happy New Year!
