Norm and Diane Stansell opened their beautiful home to the club again this year for another outstanding Christmas party.  Plenty of great food, great presents and even greater people made this a fun event for all.  We had a great turnout, but missed those who couldn't make it due to other obligations.  We have already informed the Stansells that we are coming back again next year.

 

Special thanks to Judy Bliss for all the great photos.
