On December 3, Denise Adams hosted the chapter's third annual "Teddy Bear Tea" and holiday party. Attendees brought 58 teddy bears of various sizes for local firemen to give to children in emergency situations. A new activity this year was Santa's Bazaar, a collection of craft items and baked goods donated by the alums. Proceeds benefited the philanthropy fund. Ann Haggerty received a "golden bear" award for the best holiday hat. A ten-year member award was given to Paige Pawlikow.
Happy holidays and all best wishes for a terrific New Year from all of us in the Phoenix Alumnae Chapter!
