Hau’oli Makahiki Hou, Vixens,
What a wonderful year we are looking forward to! Everyone has chosen a month
in which to plan her luncheon and event. The wheels are turning and I know the
activities for the coming year will be spectacular! We look ahead to each and
everyone and hope to share some with past Vixens and visitors alike! KK
Vixen Sisters
Everybody stuck pretty close to home in December, with the exception of
Damsel Dillie, Judy, who traveled to California to visit with her mom in a nursing home and see other family members.
Foxy Vice Kween, Myrna, returned from San Luis Obispo, CA on Dec. 2nd to
turn around on December 20th to fly off to Denver for the Christmas holidays!
Vixen Happenings
Another spectacular Holiday luncheon was enjoyed at the Kula Lodge, hosted by
our Foxy Vice Kween, Myrna, with a warm welcome from Isabelle, our party
coordinator, on December 3rd. The table was adorned with a holiday motif and
all our Vixens shared gifts and cheer! All our Sisters were in attendance!
December 7th we enjoyed the Annual Holiday Pops at the Maui Arts and Cultural Center, hosted by Magnificent Margie.
December 14th we had a double treat, with tea and a play! Queen Mum, Leslie
Granat treated the Vixens to a Victorian Tea at the Tea Box in Wailuku. We
enjoyed tea and goodies before attending the play, Elf, at the Iao Theater,
hosted by our Theater Thespian, Sassy Sandi. Two fun activities!
Our 5th Anniversary Royal Tea, was held at the Kween’s Kastle on Dec. 17th
for high tea with a champagne toast to 5 great years!!! Our Kween hosted with
all the usual tea specialties, including scones, lemon curd and clotted cream!
