Andover Sportsmen's Club

On December 11, we held a kids Christmas party for the families of our members. There was crafts and coloring!  Donna made us a snowman cake which, like every cake she brings to the club, was a work of art.  Santa Claus was the star of the show! He stopped by to give presents to the children in attendance.  We had nearly 40 kids This party would not have been possible without the capable assistance of member-volunteers. I would like to thank:  Frank Bleszinski, Ken Campisi, Bob Cochran, Emily Powell, two Donnas, Kevin and Kim O'Leary, Lee Anne Webb, and Zoe.  Here's hoping that everyone at ASC has a Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year!
