5 Christmas Get Together at Harrington s on the Bay By Chery Ripley Every year our painting group NEDA, celebrates Christmas together. On December 1, 2018, we met at the Harrington's restaurant for lunch. Carol Spangler, Kim Yager, Chery Ripley, Terri Councilor, and Luana Dueweke attended the luncheon. During the luncheon, each member exchanged their hand painted ornament with another member. We also had a short board meeting to discuss future classes, the future board members for 2019, what is trending in art, and finishing up the 2018 year end reports. Laughter and fellowship was shared by all. A picture was taken after the luncheon. Kim Yager had to leave before the picture was taken and is not in the picture. Our sincere condolences to Kathye Begala on the death of her dad.
