The 2017 end-year party came and went in high style with the usual hi-jinks and merriment, then peppered with a couple of notable events. Alex and Lise were congratulated on their recent 58th wedding anniversary. As noted in the previous post, Al Thomas collected a sizable sum for the Easter Seals campaign.
We were all terribly disappointed that Gary didn't deliver his famous year end synopsis and there was much subdued whispering about not letting it happen again. Then, John failed to bring one of his quizzes. I know I'm not the only one that loves these things.
After dinner, the Yankee swap provided a good hour of fun with considerable horse trading and a bit of outright thievery. It looked like someone cleaned out his garage with one ancient tool being gifted. Finally, after having been AWOL for several years, our treasured MG mud flaps reappeared. Those things are growing a long and esteemed provenance.
As folks started to trickle out, Gary hurriedly made a plea for our next dinner location. It was hotly contested with the Fredericton Inn supporters beating everyone else into submission. This will be in January on either the 17th or 18th (something to do with the buffet offering).

Glad you had a great time and thank you for your usual wonderful report Bob. Had a great dinner at the Fredericton Inn with a group of friends. Can vouch for the haddock :)
