Happy Holidays!
This week was our annual Holiday Party!
We had a pretty healthy dinner thanks to our party chairpersons
Marcia challenged us all to be VERY good this week and see if we can come back next Thursday with a 'no gain' week for the Chapter. Are we UP to the challenge to make the scales go DOWN?
