At that time, she will share with us some interesting facts about the history of the founding families, farms and businesses in our community. After her presentation there will be a time for Q&A.
On Dec. 5 we will have our members Christmas party. There will be a potluck luncheon. provided by our own wonderful cooks and a grab. At this meeting we will make arrangement for the distribution of the Christmas gifts that we have been able to provide for a local family that we have adopted.
