This month we gathered for our traditional Christmas meeting and party at Ruth Merrill's home and garden. Ruth has graciously hosted this event for the past several years and we as a society are so very thankful. This usually is the largest meeting of the year and takes a lot of effort and dedication to host it. In fact, this effort is to much for one person to do and luckily, Ruth has a good friend in Joanne Echevarria who helps her each year. So we thank the both of you for being such great supporters of the society. Well as usual, members started arriving around noon for the meeting bearing gifts for the gift exchange. As members milled about and socialized, Ruth and Joanne served holiday punch. Before long it was time to eat and the members part took in the delicious foods that had been prepared. After a delicious meal, we gathered to have a brief society meeting where we covered up coming meetings, dues, and membership information. We also spoke about the 'Luau' we are planning on having in May at the Port Royal Resort in Port Aransas. We also recognized that this was Billie Harris' last meeting before moving to Oklahoma. Billie will certainly be missed and we wish her all the best in her new adventure. After the meeting was over, we got down to the gift exchange and as usual, we had some very interesting palm-related gifts to be given away. Afterwards members stayed and socialized as well as went and viewed the gardens. All of these events were captured below in pictures, hope you enjoy them. Look forward to seeing each of you in 2006...
