Yuletide PartyAlbum posted Jan 20, 2017 On December 8, 2016, spirits were high as our Branch members and friends from the British Schools and Universities Club of New York celebrated the holiday season in style at the annual Yueltide Holiday Party. Guests convened in the ESU Garden Room for what turned out to be a festive and merry occasion. The Garden Room itself was turned into a winter wonderland filled with festive lights, a beautiful tree, and holiday music all of which set the mood. The evening started with light hors d'oeuvres and a tipple or two from the bar to warm the guests as they entered. |

This included President Reagan's cowboy boots, pieces of Mrs. Reagan's jewelry, furniture and personal gifts such as paintings by Frank Sinatra, which he had gifted to the couple. We finished the evening off with a glass of prosecco or two and some nibbles at Morrell's wine bar. |
