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.

Newberry women travel for convention

Four members of the Newberry Women's Club, an affiliate of the General Federation of Women's Clubs, attended the District 5 Upper Peninsula annual meeting Wednesday and Thursday in Menominee, returning home exhausted but full of enthusiasm for member recruiting and fund raising for Newberry Women's Club projects. An article detailing conference happenings is in the works. When complete, I will post a link to the story here. In the meantime, enjoy these photographs from the event.
