the following folks attended and helped us plan for December and next year: Dave Gruber; Audrey Hahn Wion with husband Ken and daughter Kristi; Polly Lively Menser; Sue Lovely with daughter Debbie; Kathy McCarten Stevens; Judi Ross; Sally Rozsa Donese; Dianne Shook Trottier; and Marti Stoner Coblentz.

December 8 is the date for our holiday luncheon. El Meson is our first choice and Carillon Brewing Company is our second choice. Sue is contacting El Meson and will follow up if El Meson cannot accommodate us. And the winner is: EL MESON. We are booked for 11:30 am on the 8th and will need reservations. Judi Ross will be taking reservations at judijudyjudie@yahoo.com or 513.368.2861. Information about the next luncheon is always available on the home page of our web site. You don't even need to sign in to see it. Just go to www.cwhs60.net. 

With December decided, we moved on to the 2018 calendar of luncheons. We really thought long and hard on how best to accommodate everyone. The following is a consensus of those in attendance:

January - Marion's on North Dixie

February - Restaurant North of downtown Dayton - to be determined in January

March - Restaurant South of downtown Dayton - to be determined in January

April -  Marion's on North Dixie

May - Restaurant North of downtown Dayton - to be determined in April

June - Restaurant South of downtown Dayton - to be determined in April

July -   Marion's on North Dixie

August - Restaurant North of downtown Dayton - to be determined in July

September - Restaurant South of downtown Dayton - to be determined in July

October -  Marion's on North Dixie

December - To be determined in October
