Christmas Meeting-2017

Here we are at the end of another year. Looking back at the Material Girls Idaho blog it's evident we were busy, happy and productive. What a great group of friends and talented women that I get to meet with and be inspired by each month!!

Thank you Robyn for hosting the party this year and thank you to Jeri for helping with the lunch. Not only did we have a wonderful lunch, but we also had our annual cookie/sweet exchange. Here are the pictures from our show and tell and lunch and included at the end is our hosting schedule for next year (so far). Let Kathi know if you can fill in any of the open spots.
