Thanksgiving
came early this year, it seemed –and our December first Christmas Party seemed
to come right behind it! The Moscas and
their elves were busy decorating the hall at Richard’s Pub early for our 2 pm
“bonanza celebration”. Thirty-six members
of the Little Rhody Model A Club came together for the festivities. Susan outdid herself with adorable animated
centerpieces & table decorations, and made sure we all arrived with “bells
on” as she handed out glittering bell necklaces for everyone. We enjoyed cheese and crackers and veggies
with dips prior to a served salad course and a really nice buffet dinner,
coffee and dessert. Our annual awards
were handed out by Dawn Mennucci. Sue and Domenic Mosca were selected for
Carole Hathaway Burns award and Ken Trudel was given the Herbert R. Allen
award. Our favorite Santa came in
setting off “sparks” with a “bag” of special things which Sue Mosca handed out
to all the members. Sue then led us off
through a game of passing the gifts to the left or right around the table by
following her interesting story directions!
A lot of laughs! The members came
through with lots of donations to Toys for Tots, whisked away by Dominic at the
end of the celebration to Cardi’s along with the animated centerpieces. See you all next year!
