Greetings from the Southern Region

Southern Region Extension retirees would like to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Eleven of us celebrated the season in early December at Burton's Restaurant in Whittington, IL and Pheasant Hollow Winery.

We enjoyed a delicious lunch, and then had wonderful pie. Burton's is the home of the famous White Pie.

Then there was wine sampling at the Winery along with treats courtesy of Joyce Pyatt and Ruby Lingle. It was wonderful weather and a very enjoyable day!

Those pictured are Martha Speir, Donna Whitlock Rumsey, Kathy Harrison, Patti Faughn, Ruby Lingle, Joyce Pyatt, Rusti Grogan, Joy Richey, Carol Schlitt, Martha Winter, and Lois Smith. Shirley Martin Prewitt joined us for lunch also.

We hope 2016 is a great year for everyone!
