Photographs 2007 Metroplex Cavers Christmas Party

Many thanks to Diana Tomchick and Bill Steele for hosting the party again this year!

Different grottos but we're all friends in The Metroplex.  The grottos that hold regular monthly meetings don't have a December meeting.  Instead, we all get together for a Christmas Party to eat drink and be merry.  The annual Christmas Party helps solidify the bonds between Metroplex Cavers though camaraderie and fun.  Of course there's also White Elephant gifts that make them anxious for next year so they can pass them on to someone else.  Everyone knows that the smaller the gift, the worse it may be, especially if it's brought in from outside.

If anyone has additional photos they'd like to contribute contact the webmaster.
