Holiday Party 2003

Saturday December 13, 2003

Committee chair Norma Keever reports:

The Surf Pines Annual Holiday Party was declared a success by the 46 guests, a record number. Guests attributed the success of the party to the live music, the delicious food, and the gracious hosts.

A local quartet, Fourtissimo, traveling from room to room during the party, entertained guests with both holiday music and non-holiday music.

The appetizer table, the dinner table, and the dessert table overflowed with contributions from guests, food that was not only delightfully presented but also absolutely delicious. (Throughout the evening, guests traded recipes—a good sign of good food.)

And the hosts, Alan and Karen Beck, were certainly gracious in opening their home to so many of their neighbors.

Here are Roger Masse's pictures of the event:
