Our December Luncheon Was So Fun!!!
Our arts and craft fair was excellent! There were many wonderful gifts to choose from. It was a great turnout and everyone looked so lovely in their holiday attire. The new chef did not disappoint. The tables were so festive with pointsettias donated in memory of Teresa Kelsh’s mother. We had plenty of fun giveaways and many Christmas presents were bought for our loved ones.
