Our March meeting was in a new location, the Northside Events and Social Club on E. 71st Street. The slate of officers was presented, and member, Angie Obergfell. was our presenter on gardening. Angie brought a wide variety of gardening tools, many of which most of us had never seen. She offered advice on how to be organized when you garden and keep track of your tools. After her presentation, she answered gardening questions, and cautioned against planting outside too early. It was a very informative presentation.

Our 2025 Christmas celebration was at the home of Michael Quinn, chief development officer of the Hoosier Art Salon. Mr. Quinn is a self-described hoarder of Christmas decorations, and his home was enchanting.

We enjoyed a delicious lunch of LS Ayres Chicken Velvet Soup and a variety of salads and sandwiches. Sweets were generously scattered throughout the home. The chocolate chip shortbread cookies disappeared quite quickly.

The Hoosier Art Salon treated us to this delightful lunch in recognition of our many years WDC's support.

Many thanks to Mr. Quinn and the Hoosier Salon staff for a most memorable holiday event.
