CSI Holiday Celebration at Ramsey House

Posted: Tue, Dec 03 2019

The CSI Family came together at the historic Ramsey House for a candlelight tour and holiday dinner. About 40 members and guests gathered to hear the minstrels entertain us with holiday tunes, enjoyed a wonderful dinner provided by Big Fatty's Catering (thank you Lisa!), and were led through the Ramsey home by docents dressed in period garb. A fascinating evening with good friends, where we learned a bit more about the history of our area. Members brought unwrapped toys to donate to Toys for Tots that Kathy had the honor of delivering to the Marine base on Alcoa Hwy. They were very grantful for this tradition that had started with the Knoxville CSI President Curtis Rosenbaum in 1996. Thanks from all of us go to Will Dunklin who arranged this wonderful evening and to all who worked hard to decorate and stock the Christmas Cheer beverages.
