The Christmas Party on the 25^th of December at the Senior Center was a success again this year!

With almost 90 people attending, everyone enjoyed great food, fun, friends, bingo and a visit from Santa.  It was also great to see and talk with Betty, as she has been involved for so many years.

Thank you to everyone who donated food, money and time for this special day.  A special thank you to the Bordeau Family who always do the “heavy lifting”; Kentucky Fried Chicken for their donations of food and Hart’s Greenhouse and Florist for the beautiful plants.  Also, a big thank you to everyone who volunteered and helped out!  You all made this Christmas special for everyone attending!
