2018 Christmas Party

December 11, 2018

The Rockwood West Christmas Party was held at the home of Greg and Debbie Murrell in San Diego. Toys for Tots gifts were donated by the 18 members (Strobels, Chetletats, Opteynaits, Juliars, Kotans, Ringhands, Smiths, Wilsons and Murrells). The Roses and Russ had planned on attending but were ill that day.  Two guests attended that the Murrells met at RIP rally in Arkansas but reside in La Mesa (Longs). Everyone looked unusually festive in their noncamping clothes!

The lunch was a potluck and the counters were loaded with a variety of delicious food. Paulette brought a mountain of her many kinds of homemade cookies.  Conversations were constant from the kitchen, living room, bar and patio as friends got caught on each other's "doings". A business meeting was held by the President, Rich Strobel.  Minutes of the meeting are below.

Later, everyone scattered back to their homes in Huntington Beach, Riverside, Phoenix and metropolitan San Diego.

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!
