Cookies and Cocoa Party

There was a small but mighty group that met at the club one December evening to roll, cut and bake gingerbread cookies. In attendance were Hestia, Patty S, Liz Malave, Susan Proano, Susanne Savard, Dorota, and new members Chris and Christine Kiernan. All was done in preparation for what turned out to be a great Cookie and Cocoa Party. There were
about 30 kids and almost as many adults in attendance!

The kids socialized, had snacks and then hunkered down for the cookie decorating. After all were satisfied with their candy and cookie concoctions, Dave Steck and Kieran Michael Brown broke out the guitars and sang Christmas carols. They were accompanied by Karin White, Hestia, Teddy and Toby Wardell, Owen and Matilde Steck, and Sebastian Proano. Rachel Negron, AmyAlvarado, Grace Proano and others gathered in for a rocking version of Feliz Navidad. Sabrina Tahir and Morgan Buckley donned red aprons and baked, prepared, cleaned and entertained the kids. Madison Moment joined in later to play games with the kids. The parents snacked, mingled and had cocktails at the lower bar. It was a warm and festive event. Our thanks go to all who helped, worked and coordinated to make it a fabulous day.
