2015 ended with a bang for Mason's Scarlet Punchers, those intrepid women "of a certain age" who meet monthly for fun, food, and fellowship. Our annual Christmas party was, as always, a huge success. 27 Scarlet Punchers and guests feasted, visited, and survived the eagerly-anticipated Chinese auction. Most everybody remembered their party manners (no names mentioned here - my lips are sealed) and no blood was shed as items were unwrapped, stolen, hidden, stolen again, gloated over, enjoyed, etc ...
Just a reminder that this weekend is the gathering of about thirty- five to forty wounded and paralyzed veterans for the Big Hunt.
We trust that Mason County folks and surrounding citizens will support this event this year as they have in the past with a large gathering. We'll have plenty of food, but we always hope you bring dessert and sides for the meal.
We have had several donations of knives, coolers, and firearms for the hunt.
