The Waw-wil-a-way Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution ended the year with celebrations Dec. 1 at the Highland House Museum.
Festivities began in the music room with singing Christmas carols, accompanied by Alex Butler at the piano. After the opening ceremony, a delicious luncheon was served by hostesses Charleene Tarr, Kim Jacobs, Sarah Jacobs and CAR member Erin Hedges.
Tonia Edwards presented 10-year certificates for Elizabeth Aleastante, Betty Crum, Carrie Rice Jones, Samantha Rach, Joellen Rice, Phyllis Townsley, Kim Jacobs and Jill Troike. Tonia Edwards and Willa Rains received 20-year certificates, with Betty Bishop receiving a 25-year certificate. We do have others who are longtime members, but certificates are given at 10, 20, 25, etc.
