Athenaeum

Athenaeum Club held its annual Christmas luncheon Dec. 1 with more than 30 members attending. The luncheon was prepared by the Yearbook Committee and the venue was the Methodist church. The guests were entertained with Christmas music by pianist Kristen Cox from Deary, Idaho, who will graduate later this year from the U of I. Her friend, Morgan Kline, joined her for the duet performance. She is a Master's student at the university. It was a very enjoyable time.

The next meeting will be held Jan. 19.
