Greetings Bonsai Enthusiasts!!!
If you'll indulge me...
I am priviledged to be the first to say our Holiday Party was a smashing success!!!
We all gathered at Dr. Karen's lovely creek-side house in Mt. Holly, each of us sharing our holiday cheer and a covered dish. The evening was spent chatting, laughing, eating and drinking, and much merriment was had by all.
Great thanks to Dr. Karen and her husband Mike who were absolutely perfect hosts, and made us all feel thoroughly welcome and comfortable! Sincerest thanks to you both!
Additional thanks go to all those who brought covered dishes to share. The numerous and varied hors d'oeuvres were fresh and tasty, and I believe everyone could find something that suited them. The various entree's (with special mention of the barbeque pork sandwiches, perfectly baked ham, and home-made lasagna!) were so great they will likely be raved about as the season progresses.
The desserts were fantastic, too! The trifle! The creampuffs! homemade pizzelles and on and on.
But of course none of these compared to the company of our fine friends of the South Jersey Bonsai Society. Everyone was so cheerful, healthy, smiling and bright. Here there and everywhere were intriguing conversation, great stories, random outbreaks of cheerful laughter, and thoughtful well wishes.
It was also a great pleasure to meet some of the friends and spouses of members who each brought their own charm and smiles to the occasion.
So, I am sure Tom will want to post his official message about the holiday party, and hopefully some great pictures, too. I'll place those here as soon as they are available. In the meantime I hope everyone won't mind my taking liberty on the front page here to express my appreciation to all for a wonderful evening and excellent company!
Happy Holidays!!!
Alec
