Hard to believe but this was the 8th Wordwrights Christmas lunch – one of them virtual. Since the first lunch we have lost two of our original members – Rian Elliott and Alison Pearce. Two of the original members – Muriel Allingham and Maria Melillo Jones – did not join us. Two new members of the group were joining the lunch for the second year – Cathy Sartor and Krista Vanderhoeven. Welcome back to our supporter, Mary Ann Colihan, Annie Carpenter, Diane Chartrand, Madeleine Horton, Marian Bron. And me.
The location was the RiverBend Golf and Country Club, freshly renovated.
It is a great occasion to share some seasonal treats and to look forward to a productive new year. 2025 will be the 10th year of the Wordwrights. Hard to believe.
A writing challenge has also been regular and this year was no exception. We were challenged to write a “seasonal” piece and read it to the group. All the contributions were entertaining and creatively varied.
