Successful Annual Greens Meeting and Holiday Luncheon

Barbara makes a tight maneuver on her JD with Laura and Susie applauding her driving skill.

Thanks to all who attended IGC's Annual Greens Making and Holiday Luncheon on second day of December. It was a mild and sunny day to create wreaths in Barbara's workshop at her home on the banks of the Ipswich River. So many beautiful holiday decorations for our town's civic buildings and the Ascension Church were made by cheerful members. Everyone enjoyed a scrumptious and healthy lunch after all the wreaths were installed. Enjoy some of the photos from the event below.

Paula, Susie, Laura and Grace all helped plan and organize the 2011 Greens Meeting.
