LITTLE SWAN LAKE LADIES POTLUCK

By Barbara Galvin

With cold north winds blowing, January 7th proved to be a warm meeting of the Little Swan Lake Ladies. All the ladies attending appreciated Carlene Adams'

snowman motif. Snowmen appeared on the ables and were illuminated by candle light. Lovely to see and delightful to view, the candle light made the pavillion even feel

warmer.

The luncheon table was filled with cold weather treats like Cheesy Chicken Soup with oyster crackers, followed by several delicious casseroles: one with wild rice plus delicious veggies, and another with chicken and veggies. A variety of fruit dishes made the luncheon balanced, as the variety of rolls and breads made a bread lover happy. Desserts were preceded by orange-banana jello and strawberry fluff jello. Then, fudge chocolate pie and cherry cheese cake topped off the lunch.

Ladies enjoying the luncheon were: Carlene Adams, the January hostess, Nancy Hoppes, Judi Jones, Jane Stevens, Dolores Bugyie, Barbara Galvin, Sharon Butler, Bev VerSteeg, Mariana Schrader, and Denise Thomas.

Plans were also discussed and made to hold the February 4,2009 meeting at "Coconuts" in Monmouth. Please call Jane Stevens, at 465-3466, to make the necessary reservations. Ladies will meet on February 4th., at the Pavillion, at 11:00 A.M. before leaving for the luncheon.

Plans were continued to remember those ladies of Little Swan Lake who have passed away in a special memorial garden behind the Pavillion. Bev VerSteeg raised the question of how the names would be recorded. Nancy Hoppes responded that several methods of engraving are being investigated. Jane Stevens supplied the financial information needed. So, the process will continue as ladies of Little Swan Lake seek to create a fitting memorial for those ladies who have died. Have you contributed yet?

Please join Little Swan Lake ladies pm February 4th., at "Coconuts". Call Jane Stevens.
