For the final meeting of 2011, we held our Annual Holiday Party at Alfio's in Chevy Chase, Maryland. Members from the Potomac Club and Rockville Club joined us. The pledge, song and prayer were given and then the feast began. Wine poured freely as members and guests enjoyed heavy hors d' ouevres. The dessert table designed by Jeanne Smith was most inviting. Below are Kiwanians enjoying all the holiday festivities:

Members from the Kiwanis Club of Potomac enjoyed the party, Beth Bentolila, Marty and Doris Siegel, and Bob and Nancy Cressy.

Members from Rockville were Bernice Grossman and Sophie Steinberg. Alana Gardner also joined us.
