Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells...


Yesterday, we had such a lovely Holiday Party!  The Lyric Victorian Carolers sang beautifully, and the meal was delightful.  We even had a gift basket raffle, with prizes donated by one of our wonderful community members.  I want to thank all of the lovely volunteers who worked so hard setting up the dining room and serving the holiday meal.  I also want to thank the carolers, as well as the approximately 100 guests in attendance -- you filled our big dining room with Christmas Spirit, and I love you all!
