The youngest generation put on a program, that is getting a little better each year. We haven't any new members in 1985, Amber Ashton, daughter of Brenda and Clare, two years, is the youngest, but a birdie told us we could expect an added one in 1986. AtSp.m. everybody enjoyed goodies and coffee before starting for home while others lingered on to visit. We were sorry some members were not able to get with us due to distance and snow. Committee for next year is Beth Weldon, Janice and Tom Fanning. It is a big effort for Bill and June to prepare for such a large crowd and family certainly appreciate it, as the home makes the party. We know they didn't get out to church Sunday morning, but understand they took time off to listen to a sermon on T.V. .
