This party was last Friday night at Mangiamo! in East Grand Rapids (formerly Gibson's). We were treated to a wonderful meal with the owners and sales staff of Spencer Mfg. Steve and I both enjoyed Walleye...very delicious!! The restaurant was a mansion years and years ago so it is filled with ornate wood and trim! You can't see it here but it has a fireplace decorated for the holidays behind us. Good food and good people!
On Saturday night we enjoyed a meal with the Pastors, Deacons and all the wives at Arnies in Rockford. We had a room all to ourselves, which allowed for a lot of visiting! We had great meals (even though I never got my Chicken Pot Pie) and a fun round of a White Elephant gift exchange! We went around the first time and allowed people to pick a wrapped gift or steal an already opened gift. Let's just say there were some steals the first round! Then, when everyone had a gift we went around once more. You could at that time, keep what you had or trade. There were actually some really nice gifts~some gifts made more trades than others!! We had a lot of laughs and an very enjoyable time. We have really grown to love & respect a lot of these couples. They are our second family!
Steve will spend his last year on the board as Vice Chairman, as Tom Lutke will be Chairman.
