As has become the custom, our Annual Christmas Party was held at RFH’s Hideaway, a couple of miles North of Phoenix.
The event was well attended and judging by the smile on Dave’s face everyone was having a good time. There were table gifts at each place setting and a number of cool door prizes along with a 50/50 drawing.
We held a short meeting where the new club officers were elected which I believe, excepting the Vice President, are the same as the old officers.
After lunch we were treated to a presentation on the natural history of Lake Ontario. The speaker was Susan Gateley, a prolific author who has written on wonders of the lake, its plants, animals and geology. 
Ms Gateley comes with a wealth of knowledge and experience gathered from 30 years living near and cruising on the lake. She brings to that experience a keen eye and the skills of a trained scientist.
She captivated us all with tales of sailing, beautiful photographs and an exciting storm video. Ms Gateley also brought copies of some of her books for sale and signed autographs for those who made purchases.
Well Done Ms Gateley!!
