Bead Society Holiday Party, December 2022

The Holiday Party of the Bead Society was last Saturday at El Cholo Restaurant on Western Avenue in Los Angeles. Twenty people came to celebrate with us.  It was a pleasant event partaking in Mexican food and visiting with Bead Society members and friends. The room was nicely decorated. The staff at the restaurant were very responsive. Tim Meikle brought frog treats for all. And members received little treat bags from the Society.
 
One attendee wrote me later,

I just want to tell you, Thank you very, very, much for your invitation to yesterday's BSLA holiday lunch. 
I enjoyed the afternoon, and all of the "Beaders," (and the food, too.) Earlier you said, "Beads just don't keep a person warm."  Might be, but yesterday, I felt a lot of warmth from all of the BEADERS.

It was great to gather together again. We have only seen many members in person during the Bead Bazaar in September and the Holiday Pop Up in Novermber.  It is just different from meeting via online sessions!
