Holiday Party…
…and Sing Along
The Holiday Party took place Saturday, December 9th at the Berkley Legion. Allattendees enjoyed a catered buffet, open bar, and lots of music…both seasonal and not soseasonal. The music was provided by DJ’s Sandy & Perry; and there was dancing andkaraoke. Seems our club has a few altos and tenors, while some just screamed out theirfavorite tunes. The “lucky” ones whose names were drawn also took home the lovelypoinsettias that were at each table. Needless to say, everyone had a great time enjoying thefestivities and getting into the holiday spirit.
