Hi,
The pictures of the North End Christmas Fund Luncheon looked lots of fun sorry I missed it. On another note I would like to the tne NECF for remembering the Rugnetta family two years in a row with their kindness and generosity espeically during this time of year with the passing of my sister. Your thoughtfulness is well received, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.
