Pam Cohen served as party-planner and hostess for the annual Post-Holiday Celebration event. Ed Koeneman and Warren Haeussler both provided invaluable help in getting heaters, furniture and electronic equipment in place, making it seem like a professionally-catered party. The donated appetizers and desserts were outstanding! All of this contributed to the charming part of the event.
The white elephant gift exchange was fun, rewarding, and entertaining! To see all the photos taken - and there were many, thanks to Lola McClane - please take time to visit our Rotary Club of Mesa West Facebook Page.
The "charmed" component had to do with the fact that the patio - where the majority of party took place - remained dry. The precipitation that drenched the east valley later that night didn't start until the party was winding down and the majority of the guests had headed home.
