Those ladies know how to have a good time! They put on a fabulous luncheon, we played a gift-sharing game, sang all 12 verses of The 12 Days of Christmas (hilarious) and there was a delightful display of holiday-themed quilts. When the new guild officers were sworn in for 2024, there was much giggling when they swore an oath to uphold guild tenets including setting a good example by being good &#8220;finishers&#8221;. Haha we all know what that means.<br><br>Tonight I am driving back to Denver, dodging traffic for the Parade of Lights, to see Sophie Quinn perform in the opera Hansel and Gretel, with the MSU orchestra. This semester she is principal 2nd violin. We are so proud of her. Her part time job is in Patron Services for the Colorado Symphony Orchestra. If you go to a concert at Boettcher Hall you just might see her at the ticket counter.<br><br>This is the time of year to give (and receive!) <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.equilter.com\/category\/31\/gift-certificates?fn=nl_20231202190858\">eQuilter Gift Certificates<\/a><\/strong>.
