Holiday cheer abounded as twenty members and guests mingled in the northwoods atmosphere and firelight glow of the St. Paul Bonfire lounge for the North Central NAMA holiday party held December 19.

A visit by two of the Royal Order of Klondike Kates, singing ambassadors of the St. Paul Winter Carnival, regaled the holiday gathering with their cabaret music and entertainment. In the spirit of the holiday, the networking event benefited the Toys for Tots charity, with guests bringing a toy for admission.

Special thanks to Sharon Larson of Martin Williams for arranging the site and Klondike Kates visit. Thanks also to Sharon and her family for delivering the collected Toys for Tots to the KARE 11 drop-off site.
