MWC was in the holiday spirit!
The halls were truly decked in holiday greenery as the members of the Moultonborough Women’s Club brought their voices together in harmony to sing Deck the Halls and other merry carols as Deb Kumpf led a singalong at the December meeting. The members donned festive sweaters in the spirit of the season and an assortment of holiday treats provided by this month’s hostess committee was enjoyed after a delicious luncheon. The Waypoint program and the Moultonborough Children’s Christmas Fund were the designated gift organizations for the month. A team of knitters and crocheters led by Janet Schurko displayed hats, gloves, mittens and scarves to be donated to the Meredith Village Savings Bank’s Mitten Tree.
