On Tues­day, Jan­u­ary 19, 2010, our South County House held a Pot Luck Sup­per and their Annual Meet­ing at 6:00 PM at the Beech­wood Com­mu­nity Cen­ter off Beach Street in Wickford.

It was a blus­tery night and we were delighted to have over thirty atten­dees, includ­ing five invited guests from our Aquid­neck Island House.

Dur­ing cock­tails we were enter­tained with music per­formed by clas­si­cal gui­tarist, Tom Stra­cen­sky, a pupil of Joe Smith’s from Exeter. Tom is a very tal­ented young man and his per­for­mance was both out­stand­ing and most enjoyable.

At the pot luck din­ner, the main dish casse­role of chicken, mush­rooms and wild rice (very tastey!) was pro­vided by Vic­to­ria Rem­ing­ton of Meals to Come Home To. Her motto is “I shop, I cook, You Enjoy” – and we cer­tainly did! (We have her con­tact infor­ma­tion as well as con­tact infor­ma­tion for Tom S.) Mem­bers high­lighted the casse­role with deli­cious veg­eta­bles, sal­ads, breads and a won­der­ful assort­ment of desserts. It was excellent.

Dur­ing din­ner, a brief busi­ness meet­ing was held to elect offi­cers for the com­ing year. A more detailed after­noon gen­eral busi­ness meet­ing will be sched­uled in the spring. Min­utes of the meet­ing will be pro­vided shortly.

After cof­fee and dessert every­one was on their way by 8:30 PM.
