On November 17th, members and three guests gathered at Boathouse
Restaurant in Winona Lake to share a meal and introduce the guests to the
Warsaw Altrusa Club. After dinner, the group selected pottery items to decorate
at Pottery Bayou. Many items were available and each person chose their own
item. What a great time we had trying to be creative!
