The holiday season is fast approaching and with it comes holiday gatherings.

The Labrador Society in Ottawa will hold its Christmas party on December 3.

Carolyn Rompkey is the President of the Society.

She says this year’s party will be an extra special get together.

Bill Rompkey will be hosting the party at Parliament Hill.

This will be Bills Rompkey’s last Christmas party.

He will be retiring in May, 2011.

Rompkey adds that when they get together it’s always a good time meeting with old friends, singing Christmas carols and sharing a delicious meal.
