Greetings and welcome!

Last Saturday we headed over to Bear Point for the Christmas Social that was held after the meeting. Thanks to me not advertising it until the day before there weren’t that many people there, mostly the usual suspects that make every meeting.

Nonetheless it was a nice time. A lot of people brought a dish to pass, and there  was hot ham, hot and cold potato salad, lots of deserts, and generally a lot of good food.

I made my rounds with the camera and caught 3 generations of Radtkes, Andy M with his hands full, change for a 10 Bear Point style, and Slug’s Red Solo Cup Christmas Tree.

The red Solo cup Christmas tree was another great idea from Slug.. For a donation of $5 or $10 you get to sign you name to a cup and put it back onto the tree. As of Saturday they had raised over $200 for the local food pantry. Outstanding!

Out back there were house sized sheets of ice floating down the river, occasionally crashing into each other or the shore. Eventually those will stack up and the river will freeze up, but it wasn’t last weekend.

I also came away with a couple of articles of interest that will be put up in a separate post (otherwise WordPress puts them into the slideshow).

Anyway, it was a very nice time, and thank you to the BPSC crew for their generosity with donations to my web site!

Thank you to everyone!
