By tradition, we joined Southern Pines for the January Meeting

Our January meeting was held at Weymouth Center for the Arts and Humanities. Our program featured Leslie Brians and Jennifer Brennan of the Pines Preservation Guild, which was established in 2020. The Pines Preservation Guild is the historic preservation non-profit organization serving all of Moore County NC with a mission to save the county’s heritage buildings and promote sensitive, sustainable community development around these heritage places.

Char, Pat and Linda enjoyed coffee and conversation before the meeting

We didn’t have snow, but our December meeting was heavenly anyway!

Weymouth House was the site of our December meeting, and all the members got to see all the decorations created by the area Garden Clubs, and particularly the SPECTACULAR room presented by the Garden Club of the Sandhills. It provided an extra special welcoming room to the house for the month of December. We had a wonderful buffet – a holiday potluck contributed by all our members, and organized by our wonderful hostesses, Marcia DeBolt, Elizabeth Fisher and Elaine Porzio. Thanks to everyone for the contributions! There was also entertainment…. including a surprise boogie by Thea’s talented husband, Dick. What a treat! 

What a glorious welcome to Weymouth, courtesy of our Club and the genius of Tracye and Thea!
What a beautiful and heavily laden table!
Delicious and beautiful
We even had a cadre of husbands to assist getting the food into the dining room. Thanks guys!
How cute was Karen and the mimosa table? 
Who”s behind these Christmas glasses… a hint – there are at least three of our officers!
