Some of the early arrivals wasted no time striking up a conversation

Our setting was the wonderful Lodge on the Desert

Mingle everyone, mingle

AZ District Directors Kerry and Garry Woo (Left and Right) and Frank Beavan were checking out Chapter K's mascot (Kodie) display table

DW Gary and Neil Hejny chatting during the ice breaker portion

Bob Berry chatting with Harold and Lynne Breuninger

Our service staff was explaining that the ice tea was a prickley pear blend, yummy!

Our award winning banner was on display with our other awards from the 2009 District Rally

Chapter Mascot Kodie wanted to show everyone her wardrobe

Barbara Hejny and Ellen McVay chatting before our meal was served. Is Ellen wearing a mardi gras head dress?

Nick and Ann Nichols - two of our Chapter's founding members

Maryann Jordan, our chapter treasure and treasurer

Elizabeth (Chapter Director) announced the Chapter K Couple of the Year for 2010 - Nick and Ann Nichols were not only surprised but also well deserving. They have supported Chapter K for 26 years. Congratulations Nick and Ann

Elizabeth was about to anonounce her selection for the 2010 Chapter K Individual of the Year - drum roll please!

Smitty was Elizabeth's selection for the Chapter K Individual of the Year for 2010 - much to Smitty's surprise. He is well-deserving--webmaster, newsletter editor, and an all around great supporter

Conversations were plenty at each of the tables

Donna Humphrey delivering yet another door prize

Becky Sangster (Assistant Chapter Director) was also playing Elf. Here she delivered a tin of hot chocolate mix - I think Althea was saying holly cow look at the sugar content

A view of the majority of those in attendance

Bob, turn the camera the other way--Unintentional self portrait by Bob Berry - only a face a mother and of course Bob's wife Althea could love

OK this is has nothing to do with the holiday lunch, but Smitty thought is was an interesting piece of art. Why are those ducks on top of the dogs?
