There were 28 members in attendance at the party at the Imperial Palace on Saturday, January 17th.  After a very short business meeting to acknowledge the new officers: Jan Blank, President; Rita Holland, Secretary; and Wanda Medina, Treasurer; names were drawn for door prizes.  Three lucky people got to pick from the elaborate center pieces.  The gift exchange was lots of fun and the Chinese meal was delicious.  Everyone enjoyed getting to know their artist friends just a little better.
