Chapter Activities
Write Family in December
As is the chapter's tradition of many years, we will be doing the Wright Family gift exchange at the chapter meeting on
December 15. Each attendee at the meeting who wishes to participate should bring a Christmas decoration or ornament
that costs no more than $10. The package should be wrapped and small enough to pass around in a circle.
This is the chapter's Holiday party. There is usually no business meeting or guest speaker. It is a good time to network with
your fellow Charisma members and guests.
