October 6, 2014, Meeting

The theme for the October meeting was Halloween (of course!).

Member Jes Hawkins, who gave this month's program, donned appropriate attire for her talk.

 Her program was a wide-ranging talk on Halloween customs, intertwined with her own childhood memories, and she brought a variety of Halloween related toys and decorations.

This gorgeous gourd gal was a door prize generously offered by Jes.

The lucky winner admires her pulchritudinous pumpkin!

Other members brought Halloween related dolls and decorations to share.

Mary's extraordinary interpretation of Jay Gatsby and Daisy Buchanan from the American classic novel, "The Great Gatsby."

Because our usual meeting place was not available on Labor Day,  member Sylvia McDonald generously opened her home to the club.  This gave everyone a chance to admire Sylvia's delightful dolls, beautifully displayed throughout her house.

Kathy shares a laugh with some of her jolly old elves.

Other members also shared some of their special Santas.
