The Social hour lasted from 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM. Wine, beer, punch & snacks were enjoyed before the meal, with a gift raffle following the meal and a short meeting. Chapter President, Wayne Woods, served as host for the evening event.

The evening dinner was catered by Mikeska's BBQ. The membership enjoyed roast beef, buttered mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, salad, with peach cobbler & ice cream for dessert. The Mikeska staff really did a wonderful job preparing and serving the meal and the chapter thanks them for the great job they did.

And a BIG THANK-YOU to chapter members Louis & Carolyn Milder, John & Brenda Steelman, and all the other members & spouses who helped plan, organize & setup the year's Christmas party. Be sure to thank those folks the next time you see them.

Above and below photos shows chapter Secretary/Treasurer, John Steelman, giving special recognition to Chapter President, Richard Woods, for his donation of a gift to the chapter of two custom built framed Vietnam Veterans posters, that Richard himself made in his home workshop.

Note that these are not just ordinary frames, as the wood used on each frame and the way the each frame was constructed represents the underlying purpose of each poster image. John spoke about the construction that went into the two donated framed posters and thanked Richard on behalf of the chapter membership. Both framed posters were later hung on the banquet hall wall.
