Adults and children alike enjoyed the good food and good company, and the Mitchell’s brought in “expert” chefs to bring us freshly baked pizza from their awesome pizza oven. Kathy’s mother Jean Bowler and club president Joel Goldfield sat down at the piano to entertain us with some holiday and Dartmouth music by the fireplace.
