We were placed in a cozy but very adequate private dining space and were very cheerfully taken acare of by our waitress, Ashley who gave very good guidance that helped those who had not previously dined at the Chophouse. We had lots of fun with our white elephant gift exchange and were also treated to a show and tell of very elegant hand-crafted items of jewelry by Virginia, Susie Stanzel’s middle daughter. It was nice to have Susie and Ginni join us for the eening.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Following the gift exchange Brendy showed us how to fold a cloth dinner napkin to make it look like a Christmas tree. I don’t remember all the folds and tucks, so you’ll have to ask Brendy about that one. She said she learned how on Youtube. I wanted to include the link to the Youtube video in this posting, but the video didn’t include audio description.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Rest assured I didn’t post tthis little report to make anyone feel guilty or anything negative, but only in hopes of enticing you to join us for our next chaopter social event. Meanwhile, I wish happy holidays to everyone and I’ll see you next year. Our first regular chapter meeting is Saturday, Janyary 21 2017 from 1:00 to 3:00pm at the Lawrence Public Library. Of course I will send the usual notice and agenda during the week of the meeting.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Happy holidays to all,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Rob<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
