offer programs.

Thank You
I would like to thank the vendors, volunteers and customers who
attended the 2016 Delwood Christmas Craft sale. This sale always
has such an air of community and fellowship to it, and this year
was no exception.

My heartfelt thanks is extended to Lowella Sorenson, Roberta

Lapointe and Chantal Chinni for all the help they gave me with the
sale. The event was a grand success, and would not have been
possible without the assistance of these three ladies.
