Linda Fake and Eileen Kent at WISE 2010 |

Collette did a great job of creating materials for the table, painting frames that matched for a beautiful display! |
Looking at the photo above you can see we had a
great table - but needed a little sparkle...
Right after that photo was taken Cindy Helmer
showed up with her fabulous glass creations -
and really put the finishing touches on the table!

More of Cindy's designs...

Julie's
House • Laurie,
Barb & Veronika's Houses •
Laurie's
House
Manger
& Icicle House • Cora
Cleans Up

Julie - master baker
& coordinator |
Laurie
& Barb (& Veronika's cousin, Diane)
really took this seriously! |
Cora -
the only woman brave enough to build a
two story house!
Is it because she has three men at home? |

Barb's
house is soooo cute - she's going to preserve
it with hairspray... what else would she
use?! |
The manger
in the group - she said she'll add the
animals and people too... wow - how creative! |
We all
hate the woman that made this! There must
be hundreds of little icicles on ths house
- and there are other awesome details
all around it... watch out lady, we're
after you next year! |
Zonta
Brunch May 18, 2007
Zonta Brunch was a
blast!
March 18th we helped the
Utica Club of Zonta raise money for women's
educational and health-related programming
in the community. Several of us were executive
waitresses, vying for tips for a great cause!
Winter Wonderland
of Lights
was so fun!
We
volunteered to "woman" a booth at
the Wonderland of Lights on December 29, 2006
We had a great time: Barb Dougherty, Barb Goldsmith,
Laurie Ann Dowell and Veronika Freeman braved
the cold temps to sell tickets and wish the
visitors a Happy New Year!
"... and she said 'cut it up to here!'" |
"Is there any more Godiva chocolate?" |
Barb "The BagLady"
Dougherty! |
Remember to dim your headlights, "for
optimum viewing pleasure". |
Lots of people brought
their poochies to the show; some seemed to
enjoy it more than others! |
"I love seeing the poochies!" |
"Help, my butt
is frozen to the chair
and I can't get up!" |
