BPNA Holiday Party
- 2006
Due
to a communications issue, this years Holiday party was held at the
The Epiphany United Church of
Christ located at
2911 Mc Nair in the
Fellowship Hall. They were very gracious to host
our event and even went so far as to arrange the tables and decorate
for the holiday season.
The BPNA supplied the
main dishes of Hot Roast Beef and Pineapple Ham, procured from the
Lemp Mansion. With all the attendees bring a wonderful variety
of dishes, we had an abundance of food! It especially nice to
see the dessert table was overflowing!
Not much in the way of
business. We held our annual elections, honor a few dedicated
volunteers and drew attendance prizes.
