Holiday Celebration of Pen Women
Our CNY Branch's annual holiday celebration was held at the home of our most gracious host Mary Raineri. Pen Women gathered to celebrate each other and the spirit of the holidays.

Mary Raineri's Christmas decorations were, as usual, stunning, artistic, and gorgeous. A wonderful way to reflect on the past year and look forward to what the future holds
