Twenty hardy Cornish Cousins turned out on Saturday December 5th for the CHSE Christmas meeting in spite of predictions of snow. There were clusters of conversations recalling favorite foods of Christmases past as we shared our potluck meal. Sylvia's sausage rolls, Les's cucumber sandwiches, Fred's Angel Food Cake, Margaret's mincemeat cookies, and several other tasty dishes were put away with gusto and many cups of tea.
The highlight of the occasion was the unveiling of our new website, recently designed and now managed by Phil Reynolds. Anne Stephens, who designs our newsletters, and Barry Tracy, Editor, channeled the content to Phil. Anne made a display board, tied in red ribbon, for the ribbon cutting ceremony. As one of 4 Charter Members present, Sylvia Hadowanetz did the honors.
Snow had arrived by mid-meeting, so hardy or not, we wished each other an early Happy Christmas and left to clear off our windshields.
