The "How to make Chocolate Truffles" class was a huge success!! Very messy but fun and deliclious. Thanks to Sue Collins for providing copies of the recipe, ingredients and tips on how to make Truffles. Thinking we may have a "How to make Chocolate Souffle" class next year. ________________________________________________________________
The ALDA Chicago 35th Birthday celebration was a huge success. The meal Jameson's Charhouse provided was excellent. ALDA Chicago honored Joe and Dawn Linder with a beautiful blue blown glass artpiece for all of their incredible work for ALDA Chicago. Tom Garvey was the big winner of the Split-the-Pot, $92. There were numerous raffle items won by all.

The ALDA CHICAGO Welcome Newcomers party had a nice turn out. Six new members were able to join us there: Sue Collins, Kim Eich, Gale Ford, Carol Johnson, Donald Moore and Sarai Rosbe. We enjoyed the cake made by Marsha Swetin plus yummy brownies, lemon bars and cookies. Thanks to Marsha Kopp for providing bottled water, iced tea and flavored seltzer water.

We had a very nice turnout for the bowling/dining social at Suburbanite Bowl in Westmont. There were quite a few bowlers but not all stayed to enjoy pizza from Zazzo's afterwards. Everyone had a great time. We wish more of you could have joined us. It was a lot of fun!

Despite the snowy weather and potential for icy roads, those pictured here got together for a post-holiday Meet-Up Lunch at Anyway's Restaurant in Oakbrook Terrace on Jan. 23rd. Everyone had a really nice time as is evident by all the smiling faces haha! Food was good, too. And look who was able to join us... yes, it's John G there way in the back, waving his hand high in the air (smile). We were so happy he was able to join us. It was sure great to see him. We wish more of you could have made it. We miss seeing you and hope you come to one of our gatherings soon.
