Annual Christmas Family Potluck Dinner 12-14-2019

Annual Christmas Family Potluck: Saturday Dec 14, 2019 at the Nemo Community Hall at 11:30 am.

It was an old fashioned potluck family dinner complete with handmade wooden name tags for all in attendance.  For the first time in several years, reservations were honored and a private party at the Nemo Community Hall was held.

The crowd was made up of 38 members/family members of the Rapid City Woodworkers Association.  Tables were decorated by members.  A tree in the Hall was also decorated.

See if you can find anyone you know in the photos:

A display of one of every toy made for the 2019 Toy Program was set up during the Potluck.

Wisdom from the Homeless Toys/Misfit Toys/Unwanted Toys:

“A TOY IS NEVER TRULY HAPPY UNTIL IT IS LOVED BY A CHILD.”
A quote by King Moonracer of the Island of Misfit Toys, from the movie Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, 1964.

As a result of the Toys being given today, we hope to make many children happy, but in turn, the children receiving these Toys will make many Toys happy!!!😊❤🙉🦕🐬🐫
