On Tuesday December 27th our Chapter had their years Christmas Dinner @ Pinnacle Peaks.. Twenty members & family were in attendance along with Bear & Robi’s friends Joe & Pat. Those in attendance were Mel & Marsha, Bill & Jackie, Alan & Susan, Jim & Barb, Robi & Bear, Bud, Jeff, Bruce & Bonni, Bill & Antje, Al, Stan & Patti, and yours truly. During dinner it was brought to our servers attention that Robi, Bear, Joe & Pat were wearing ties. Wearing ties in Pinnacle Peak is strictly forbidden and will be removed by having them cut off the offenders. These people wore the ties with the explicit intention of being caught and having them cut off. Here are a few pictures from the evening festivities.
