The ladies of the NEW JERSEY CAMEO CLUB had a great evening of food, libations, dancing and song, last December at the annual Christmas Party, but for some reason the event went unreported on this blog site. Some CLUB members were unable to attend the party, due to illness, or distance. So, the following is a recap of the great time had by all.
The Christmas party was held at the Toms River Hotel. The ladies gathered together to pose for their annual portrait. Betsy Mott and Robin Milne were the guests of honor, and were included in the photo also.
After dinner, announcements, acknowledgements, and gifts followed. President Carole Lelli announced the new board members who will begin their term in January of 2018, who are: Carole, President, Lyn Gibson, Vice President, who is
not in the photo, Leah Whelan, Secretary, and Rebecca Orsatti, Treasurer. She thanked JoAnn Gordon MSNJSA2008 and her committee for providing such a great evening for the members. Administrator Johanne Santori introduced Terry Meade as the new Executive State Pageant Director.
President Carole presented Carolyn Slade Harden MSNJSA2017 this portait on behalf of the Board and NEW JERSEY CAMEO CLUB. QUEEN Carolyn was noticably shaken when she expressed her thanks for the lovely gift.
Everyone settled down in anticipation of the Great Raffle that followed. The tables were full of great gifts that were provded by the members. JoAnn Gordon MSNJSA2008, took over to read the tickets and announce the winners.
Here she is, QUEEN Carolyn and her freinds from La Rennaisance, enjoying themselves all evening long.
Of course, there was dancing to the music of Steve and Debbie Berger. Line dancing is a fun activity, as members joined in dancing their favorite, the electric slide.
As the evening came to an end, the ladies joined hands together to form the "Circle of Sisterhood", singing and swaying to the song, "That's What Friends Are For". Hugs, kisses and well wishes followed as the ladies gradually dispersed and went home. Hopefully, the cold and flu season will not affect these sweet ladies in the days and year ahead.
FYI. These photos were taken by Mark Meade, and lovely provided by Terry Meade, our new Executive State Pageant Director.
