Hello Friends,
Happy New Year! Let’s make this year even more enjoyable and fun!!
Our Christmas Party was wonderful. Thank you so very much to Anne Aubrey and
her committee. The food from Colton’s was very good. The room was decorated
beautifully. The entertainment was very meaningful. The gift exchange and games
were fun. It was a great time!
