K-TOWN KATES MET

The K-Town Kates began their annual Christmas Party at the Rusty Tractor in Kensington at 6:00 p.m. on Saturday, December 17, 2022. After a delicious meal and good conversation, the 13 members and 6 guests traveled to the Community Center to enjoy Christmas punch and cookies provided by the hostesses Barb, Janet, and JoAnn. Everyone shared their most memorable Christmas gift from their childhood, played a memory game, then participated in the grab bag exchange. Meeting booklets for 2023 made by Deb L. were distributed. The evening was a good way to start the holiday celebrations.

The next meeting will be Monday, January 9, 2023. The additional workers for the January 21, 2023 food pantry will be Loretta and Janet.
