Ayham welcomed club members, spouses, friends and our exchange students to a festive evening at The Sherwood. Ed's punch was a huge hit as were the delicious pre-dinner delicacies. Byron Lee played his guitar and sang beautiful Christmas music while everyone enjoyed cocktails. A delicious dinner was served and enjoyed by all. After dinner we again enjoyed Byron's music and caroled along. The evening ended with everyone joining in to sing a beautiful "Silent Night". Thank you to Ayham for announcing, to Ed for coordinating with The Sherwood, to Bill B for organizing and to The Sherwood for a beautiful setting and great food! Best wishes to you and your loved ones for Christmas and the New Year. See you on January 4th!
