Events - Travels with Christine

On May 15th at the Creekside Clubhouse, Chris Krenzel presented a travelogue of her recent trip to India. She narrated a beautiful slide show (exceptional photos taken by her husband, a professional photographer), giving us the history of what we viewed along with the story of their travels. Chris also brought along books and examples of items she brought home. Throughout, we enjoyed cookies from an Indian bakery and other munchables.
