Dear Fellow Skalleagues,
The members and guests attending the December Holiday Party were filled with the spirit of the holiday season. Good times, fun dancing and of course our annual silent auction were highlights of the evening. As always, The Bridge Hotel staff presented a fabulous display of hospitality, good food and wonderful service. Josie Galano Van Tuyl, the new Director of Sales joined us for dinner and is a potential new Skal Member.
James Hansen found wonderful silent auction items which were “grabbed” by our membership and guests! His lively and entertaining “push” was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone attending! James, thank you for all that you do to support Skal! Also, thank you to the members and guests who supported the auction this year.
24 members were in attendance.
We were extremely pleased to have 12 guests in attendance including:
Sheila Alterman – Guest of Paul Alterman
Judy Berlin – Guest of Peter Berlin
Ric Bustamante - Guest of Wayne Lampert
