2016 Annual Christmas Party... a Scene of Merriment and Good Cheer!

By Brad Senn

Wow!  What a Christmas Party!  For the third year in a row our “extravagancy” was held at the Meridians Sports Bar in Orchard Creek Lodge.  With a membership of 130 folks and a limit of 75 people allowed in the Sports Bar, we sold out our allotted tickets much too quickly. 

 

The breakfast buffet provided by Meridians was great and all you could eat.  However, the highlight was the fun of getting together and the camaraderie that ensued topped off by the ever popular raffle. 

 

All attendees were encouraged to bring a wrapped/unwrapped gift to be placed on the raffle table.  With most members bringing at least one item, and many bringing more than one, the table was sagging from the weight of all that stuff.  The raffle started with the President and then Vice President having their tickets drawn first…..a highly suspicious coincidence leading to shouts of “shake up those tickets better”.

 

Some of the prizes that people walked away with included cameras, tripods, mat cutters, magazines, books, prints, limited edition calendars, lens cleaners and wine.  No one left empty handed as we had more prizes than we had people and it was all in good fun.
