Reunion & Meeting 11/25/05

Fourteen members made it to the Golf Club in Carterville. With it being the day after Thanksgiving & Black Friday, I guess that was pretty good. The ones that made it are listed here.

Steel Magnolias

The Carterville “Steel Magnolias”

Steel Magnolias was started about 1962 by Colleen Bogard. She had the first meeting in her home on the Saturday morning of the Free Fair. Through the years, we have met in other homes. And it is just that in the last few years we have gone to the Pioneer Cabin. I think it is interesting that we have not missed a year meeting since we had the first meeting. The topic of conversation has changed as we have gone through changes in our lives. All the girls in the class are invited to come, and are considered members, however, we have been running between 10-12 the last several years of those that attend, or show up. The guys could crash the party if you want–just like in high school days!!
