It's that time of year again! Ms. P.E.O. Santa and her elves have been busy!! We changed our venue to Whitmoor Country Club and it was quite a treat. There were 37 ladies in attendance including our three guests, Pattie S., Jenny J., and Carol H. We had a lovely brunch and enjoyed some punch. I chose the "naughty" punch and it was yummy!
After we took a moment to celebrate Barb R.'s 90th birthday, we got down to business. The auction was wonderful with frequent high bidding. A HUGE round of applause goes out to our auctioneers- Steph, Beth and Michael Leigh. They were amazing! After Jean S. had a chance to catch her breath, she noted we outdid ourselves yet again and set a new record amount of money raised. I think the new item that went like hot cakes was "Homemade Bailey's". For those who weren't successful in their bidding, Beth M. has shared the recipe! Enjoy the pictures below. There are pictures of our lovely room, all the goodies for sale, everyone enjoying themselves and of course, some of the Homemade Baileys!
Happy 90th Birthday Barb and Merry Christmas!!
