The ALBA Xmas meeting on December 14 went off with a swirl of pink cocktails, a bag of exciting goodies and some great holiday reading.

The delicious cocktails were sponsored by Stack Interiors and really got the party going. Carole Beu brought along some selected books from the women’s bookshop so that ALBA members could do some last minute shopping.

Kelly played Santa and members queued up to sit on Kelly’s knee and get a mystery present from the Santa sack.

There was no ALBA meeting in January as the group was recovering from Christmas excesses! The meeting in February will be Wednesday 08 February, 6pm at the Short Room. Check the ALBA website – www.alba.org.nz for more details.
