Joyful holiday music, festive decorations, and great food welcomed the attendees at the Robson Ranch Women’s Club December luncheon on Monday, Dec. 2. President Joyce Frey called the meeting to order and President Elect Gayle Coe introduced guests and first-time attendees. Joyce presented reports from the treasurer, membership and service committees, and the December greeters and table decorators were recognized for their generous hospitality and creative efforts, which added to the luncheon’s festive atmosphere.
The December monthly charity, Denton County Friends of the Family, received generous cash donations. In addition, the Women’s Club members donated numerous toys for the Friends of the Family toy drive, which allowed the children enrolled in the Friends of the Family programs to have a merry Christmas.
