Board meetings of The Graduates
are nice events, always marked by an excellent "potluck" meal
(pretty well-planned "luck"!) fine
bring-your-own wine generously shared, and
the agenda of business for the club.
This time, we were treated to the beautiful
home where Dorothy Dearman is house-sitting,
as you will see in the pictures below.
Just click on the pictures for enlargements.

The Board met at the beautiful home where Dorothy Dearman was currently
house-sitting (and taking care of a pet dog, whom you will see later on...!) |

From both the front and rear, the house shows off its interior through
much glass. The grand piano is well-situated and well-tuned! |

An excellent dinner has become a tradition at all Board meetings, this
one certainly no exception! I see Ellen Lilley, Michael Koelsch, Michael
McCaleb, and Darlene Amundsen's back as the food is encountered. |

The food is selected, under the watchful gaze of a sentinel pig! |

Ellen talks with her hands, which sometimes leads to unintended consequences,
but is very expressive. |

Berkeley Meigs' birthday was celebrated at the meeting, with cake and
all. Berkeley prepares to extinguish... |

The ladies of the group "Champagne" serenade Berkeley and the Board
with Holiday songs! (Also note "Vinny" the almost-silent partner of the
evening, getting into the act.) |
