ANNUAL HOLIDAY COOKIE EXCHANGE

It is the holiday season once again.  Time to rummage through those recipies
and whip up a batch of your favorite cookies to bring and share with members

samples of all the delicious cookies home with you.

We also plan to once again play Table Topics' game "Family Reunion".
It never fails to trigger our memories and we expect to hear some
interesting family stories in the process.
