Minutes of December 12, 2008

Twenty eight men gathered for the annual Sons Christmas Turkey Supper prepared by Lee Horigan, Jay Brown and Bill Powell. The meal consisted of the traditional roasted turkey done to perfection, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy and other fixings. For desert, there was a choice of apple or mince pies. As in past December meetings, the business portion was deferred until January. Patrick thanked the supper committee and the membership responded with a round of applause. In keeping with the Christmas tradition, President Patrick Horigan read two inspiring short stories. One was written by Gary Paulson entitled “My Name is Ike” and the second by Stewart McLean entitled “Christmas at the Turlington’s” Following the reading and at the President’s request the Sons participated in a round of carol singing. The Sons sang merrily without musical accompaniment various Christmas carols in harmony. The meeting concluded on a high note with visiting and good fellowship.
