Auxiliary Report
The countdown to the new year begins! Still much to be done for the holidays and for CLCA before we get to start a new year and do everything all over again. I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving with family and friends. Everyone has their traditional recipes that can’t be forgotten at Thanksgiving. I would be disowned if I changed any of the side dishes in my family or worse, didn’t serve turkey. Hope your meal was as tasty as ours was, traditional or new.
The Christmas Party is here! Please join us on Friday, December 6 from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. at the Sequoia Yacht Club in Redwood City. Put on your best Christmas attire (sweater, red and green, sparkly/jingly jewelry) and plan to have a great time! No host cocktails and appetizers from 5:30 to 6:30 with buffet dinner to follow. You can call, text or email me if you want to attend and have missed the Constant Contact invitation. Thank you to our committee (Alice Domine, Charlene Ott and myself) for putting it together.
The end of another year is upon us. I don’t know where the days go. One minute it is Valentine’s Day and suddenly it is New Year’s Eve. There is a lot happening in life and the world. Every day seems to bring something new and different, some good, some not so good. Enjoy every moment of the holiday season with family and friends, savoring time spent with loved ones. Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, Feliz Navidad and Happy Holidays! Hope to see you at the Christmas Party.
