Christmas Luncheon

December 8 at the Wigwam resort, the Kiva room was festive and lively as the women of the WWGA gathered after playing the Gold Course. The lunch prepared by the Wigwam Resort staff hit the spot on this winter day. We shared a delightful couple of hours of conversation, food and raffled the centerpieces to raise funds for the New Life Shelter.

Deb Smith in the background and Linda Cole set up the lovely luncheon
Deb made the centerpieces that were raffled off to the players present.
