A great time was had by all at our 2016 Annual Euclid Art
Association Christmas Party, Potluck Dinner and Chinese
Auction Fundraiser.....this year, held at the Henn
Mansion in Euclid. What a beautiful venue to hold
our party. It was nicely decorated for the holidays.
We had 61
 members
and guests in attendance....all enjoying an evening of fun
with friends, fantastic food and huge auction.
Not only are our
members talented artists, but also great cooks! The food
choices abounded on the appetizer table and among the many
choices of salads and delicious entrees....not so much on the
dessert table this year. Did you get to try Michelle’s
chicken noodle soup, Steve’s turkey chili with a secret
ingredient, Joan’s organic chicken enchiladas, Sue Ann’s corn
casserole, Sharon’s spaghetti and meatballs, Mary Ann’s
walnut-pear salad, or Kathy’s ambrosia salad on the dessert
table? Many thanks to Sandi and her team of food experts
who worked so hard to set out all that food.... and
to keep the hot items hot and the cold items cold! Great
job everyone!
After dinner, the auctioneer team of Rozenia, Jaden and Beth
called out the winning numbers. Great job, team!
There were so many great items on the auction tables this year
that you needed to buy more and more tickets to increase your
chance of winning them. We especially thank Joan and
Dottie, Mary Ann and Deb, too for the excellent job they did
setting up the display of auction items. And, most
importantly, we thank everyone who brought them in, including
Euclid Mayor Kristen Holzheimer-Gail for the gift basket of
‘wine & glasses’. We especially thank local businesses
for their donations - Heinen’s, Euclid Blue, Dog Days Grooming
Salon, Euclid Brewing Company,
 Lakefront
Seafood & Grill, Bronko Beverage, Art It Yourself, MAVZPIX
Photo Art Studio.....did we forget anyone? We made
two-dollars shy of $500 - the best ever!
Not only do we give a big thank you to all the volunteers who
showed up to set the tables...Diane, Carolyn, Kathy...., but
to everyone who stayed to clean up. A thousand thanks
from Sandi, “without you, it would never have happened.”
And,
didn’t Dennis McDonnell take great pictures from the evening’s
festivities? Thank him by taking a look at the pictures
and letting him know what you think.....to see them, check out
