December Meeting

Posted on by

We had a wonderful time chatting with fellow members at our December in-person meeting. Then after an enjoyable meal, we were treated to an interesting talk, filled with great tips by Bernadette Cox.

An audio recording of Bernadette’s talk will be up on the Members Only section of our website by Saturday.

Thank you to those that came to the dinner, and we missed everyone that would have joined us if not for the snowstorm. A special thanks to the executive who are the reason CCW runs so smoothly. Many thanks as well to the Kallisto Greek & Mediterranean Grill restaurant for hosting us.

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas, Happy Chanuka and the best of the Season!

See you next year – on Zoom!
