Hope all of you had a fun and safe Halloween! The 3rd meeting of our 5 meeting ‘marathon’ is this Sunday! You can find details below. Hope you can all make it! Also, we have some information on hour holiday meeting in December below. Don’t forget to mark your calendars! 








Joseph Yakovetic is a multi-talented artist extraordinaire. You may have seen him at Disneyland carving some of those wonderful pumpkins in the now gone Halloween Jamboree area at the Big Thunder Ranch. (That area is sorely missed!) He has also made numerous appearances at the DFC conventions and was recently on the 2nd place winning team on The Food Networks ‘Halloween Wars’ show. (And they did some amazing work!) Joseph has a lot of information to share so we hope you can join us at our regular meeting location in Pasadena! As usual we’ll have a raffle and refreshments. (Please feel free to bring in some goodies to share!) For more information on Joseph please click on the link below. 


When: Sunday November 15th at 1PM

Any questions you can reply to Ron via this email.

(Note this is the 2nd Sunday in December and we’ll be starting at noon vs. the usual 1 PM.) We’ll be having pot luck for lunch, raffle prizes, puzzles and a photo booth. It will be at the home of Ron King in Norwalk. We’ll be sending out more information but please mark your calendar in the meantime. Hope you can make it!
