The 2006 Tampa Bay 56ers Christmas Party was held at
the Radisson Hotel in Clearwater, FL.   There were 46
people in attendance, including special guest, Skip
Maklowski, owner of Skip's Florist Shop and Holiday
House, a sponsor of the Tampa Bay 56ers.

The evening started of with a get-aquainted challenge
where everyone was given a sheet with blocks containing
unique facts about each member, but without naming
them.  Each member had to fill in the blocks with the
right name.  It was interesting to learn new facts about
fellow club members.

The food was served buffett style and was delicious
followed by sharing a cake prepared just for the
occasion.   After dinner, President Joyce Gillen
recognized all the board members for their contributions
to the club throughout the year.  Joyce also thanked
Sally Colangelo for all work in making the party a great
success

The evening concluded with each member attending
being given a special Department 56 gift from the club.
