                    DMS Annual Holiday Party & Auction 2008            

At Our Meeting: Saturday, December 6, 2008

Location: Timothy's of Newark, DE

Program: "Annual Holiday Party & Auction"

In December, we met at Timothy's in Newark for a holiday lunch buffet and auction.

We met on Saturday, December 6th, instead of Monday, December 8th.  

It was a great party!  Good food, good people in holiday casual dress, and mineral/fossil auctions galore!

We conducted both silent and live auctions for greater excitement. 

Times: 12:00PM - 4:00PM

Refreshments: Courtesy of Timothy's and DMS
