The Game Which Stole the Christmas Party

By

Vernon M. Herron

Recently, I attended the Annual Christmas Breakfast Party sponsored by the Tuesday Morning Breakfast Forum. It was well planned and executed. It was attended by former presenters who are making a difference in the world, politicians, elected officials, singers, musicians, Santa Claus and his helpers, food caterers, the “Tuned-In” choir from the McCreesh Place (a residence for homeless men) under the direction of Dr. Thomas Moore. It also included exchange of gifts for everyone and the recognition of our long time leader, Mrs. Sarah Stevenson.

But the best part of the party was the game, “Just for Fun” quiz taken by everyone. Since there were no “winners,” nor “losers,” everyone had fun. I was so impressed with the game, I now invite you to participate with the quiz. Answer all questions, keeping your responses as a matter of record and note the correct ones in the next blog.

All comments are welcomed.
