Women's club members celebrate with cookie feast

Members of Newberry Women's Club gathered Tuesday  for the monthly business meeting, and a cookie feast prepared by hostesses Jill Hutchinson and Cheryl Withrow.

Ladies enjoyed sugar, mint, gingerbread, cherry-Rice Krispie, M&M and Almond Joy cookies along with Surprise Candy, bourbon balls and Grandma's Snickers. There was also a relish tray with assorted pickles, cheeses and crackers. Beverage offerings included fresh-brewed coffee and assorted black and herbal teas.

The meeting and social hour took place in the most beautiful venue in the village of Newberry, the gaily decorated Villemure Dining Room in the Chippewa-Luce-Mackinac Community Action Agency building in downtown Newberry.

Members of the local club extend a special thank you to Marie Nicholson, Ruth Wippert and other staff members for their assistance in making this special event a success.

Taffy the golden retriever welcomes the 2013 Newberry Christmas lights; that's her you hear barking in the background of the video (link below).

Newberry Water and Light lineman Joe Lively, in bucket, village Department of Public Works employees Debra Major and Dan Puckett, with beard, along with part-time employee Jerry Overland get the job done on a sunny, 45-degree November day.

Thanks to all of you. We love the Christmas lights.

For those of you who do not know, the green house in the background is our humble abode, which we share with Pepper, Peanut, Stormy, Pickles, Penelope, Peter, Olivia and a who carload of tropical fish! God is good!
