February 5th was the Chinese New Year and we could not pass that up. We have gone to the Mandarin restaurant in Reading for a few of their annual celebrations, and this year it was great fun also.
We had ten members for this party to enjoy the wonderful buffet and the camaraderie of being together. The day was warm for February and it seemed as if spring was just around the corner.

February 27th and off to school for the group. This time our outing for lunch was at the Wakefield Vocational school where the food and the service is always good.
