ROUND ROBIN DINNER ENJOYED BY ALL

 The Greater Port Kiwanis Club celibrated the holidays with a round robin dinner on December 20th. Twenty five members and guests enjoyed the fellowship of the season.

 

Everyone met at Barb and Jim’s 1st GMAC office to start the evening with cocktails and hors d’oeuvers. An auction was held for White Elephant items donated by members. Kathy Wiskow who has a collection of snowman decorations was pleasantly surprised with the snowman themed auction item. The members will be looking forward to hearing from Paul & Sally as to how well they enjoyed the wine they bought. Dave Bernander would not show the sweater he bought, which was billed as the winner of an ugly sweater contest!

Ever one then walked or drove to Karen’s condo for soup and salad. The view from the 8th floor of the waves crashing in off Lake Michigan was spectacular. Comments were made it was nice to be inside looking out at the cold water.

A bus then transported the party goers to the Wiskow’s house just outside of Port for the main course. New member Linda Wells help host the party with contributions by the Strohms. Ham, cheese potatoes and a broccoli cauliflower vegetable dish were enjoyed by all.

With the snow really coming down the crowd again boarded the bus for the trip to Liz Erlwig’s home for desert. Liz’s Christmas lights through the heavy falling snow set a great mood for the final stop. Jerry and John settled in for the duration. While others managed to get in a few games of pool.

 

Comments over heard were ‘let’s do it again and not wait for next Christmas’.

 

 

 

 

 

 

RINGERS GET RELIEF

For the past several years Kiwanis has rang the bells for the Salvation Army outside at Walmart. This year they rang at Sentry Foods inside their entrance. All ringers were very thank-full to be in doors with the low temperatures and the wind.

 

Dennis Ansay, Port Washington’s Salvation Army bell ringing organizer, extended his thanks and congratulations to Kiwanis and the bell ringers for raising $382.36.
