Chaparral Section's annual Holiday Party at the Mountain Oyster Club

"The Best Holiday Party ever", was one of the comments shared by attendees at Chaparral Section's annual Holiday Party at the Mountain Oyster Club.

The "entertainment" was a wonderful slide presentation by Joyce Degenhart on her MBCA trip to the MercedesBenz Museum in Stutgart, a visit to the AMG plant in Affalterbach, and the beauty of Germany during October of this year.

An additional treat was the presentation of "Club Member of the Year". The Board painstakingly sorted through all members' contributions to the continuing excellence of our events and activities and selected Ron Isler. Ron and his wife Lucy are very active with the Club and can always be counted on to support Club events and activities. Congratulations Ron !
