Thank you to all of our members who joined us on Saturday, June 7, 2025 at Charlie’s of Lincroft to celebrate our chapter’s 50th anniversary! The food was delicious and plentiful beginning with appetizers, then a salad, choice of entrée that included salmon, chicken, steak or vegetarian followed by ice cream or gelato and chocolate covered strawberries. We held a trivia game that was a lot of fun with many prizes awarded. All attendees received a Trish Vine thread bag favor. The President’s Challenge of original designs was on display for all to see. But the best part was getting together with our members, especially those who don’t live in the area and we only see on Zoom.
For those who could not attend, included in this newsletter is the trivia game. How will you do? Answers will be provided in the October newsletter.
