Thanks go out to Catherine and Lorraine for arranging our annual Christmas Luncheon at the beautiful and festive Smithville Inn.  As always, they did a beautiful job making sure we were happy with the service and the food.  

Neil Berg’s 103 Years of Broadway 11/19/16

WOW!  What a show!  Fantastic!  Neil Berg brings the stars of the actual Broadway shows to perform their favorite songs.  Stockton PAC is so convenient and there are truly no bad seats in the theater.  As long as you’re not afraid of heights!  After the show, the ladies went to the Italian Gourmet for a nice dinner.  BIG THANKS to Elaine for coordinating.

Paint and Sip Party–August 29, 2016

BIG THANKS to Janet and Roberta for organizing our first ever Paint and Sip Party.

 

 

   Judging by the finished product, we have some very talented ladies in our group!  I think this event will probably be repeated again next season.  From the feedback that I received, everyone really enjoyed their afternoon. 

Historic Cold Spring Village–August 18, 2016

WOW!  BIG THANKS to Marlene, Elaine and  Lynnda for coordinating our day at this wonderful living history village.  Cold Spring Village brings to life the day-to-day activities of villagers who lived in South Jersey during the “age of homespun.” (1789-1840)    The village is set on 30 acres of shaded lanes with gardens and 26 restored historic buildings housing historically clothed interpreters, who entertained us on the lifestyles, issues, trades and crafts of that time period.  Our guide, Meagan, was fantastic.  We were able to tour at our own pace, with rest stops along the way, allowing us to cool down on this very warm day. 

 

We toured 7 buildings before stopping for lunch at The Grange and then some of us continued to tour 4 more buildings with Meagan.   We were so impressed with our tour and many of us said we would like to return to visit the buildings that we didn’t have time to see.

OK – we couldn’t resist this photo!

Our last building was the school house and as you can see, someone misbehaved and was put in the corner with the dunce cap.

Michel Cluizel Chocolate Museum Tour and Luncheon–July 8, 2016

BIG THANKS to Marie C for coordinating this wonderful event.  Eighteen of us enjoyed learning the history of chocolate, along with a light French lunch and chocolate tastings throughout the afternoon.  Alan was a perfect host and had us laughing for much of the day.  Here we are as we arrived….

After a peek into the kitchen and a short talk about the history of chocolate, we began our tasting and luncheon.
