Chapter Meeting
The first meeting in 2025 was the New Year Gathering.
Many members and their spouse gathered in the beautiful Singer Museum in Laren, The Netherlands.
We had coffee and pastries when we met in the old part of the museum, the former residential house of Mr. Singer, the founder of the museum.
We were divided into two tour groups and visited the interesting exhibition of paintings by Henri Martin and Henri le Sidaner. These French painters are famous for their extraordinary way of painting light.
After a nice lunch with fine wine, we wished everyone a happy New Year filled with the joy of lkebana, and then went home.
