Annual Christmas Luncheon
Due to a "covid schedule", the Friends Concert Choir will not be able to join us this year as has been our tradition for the past 30+ years. Therefore, we are making other special plans for that day. We will have our regular buffet with a holiday dessert to celebrate the season and will continue to practice covid precautions. As always, your spouse or a guest is welcome to attend with you, cost to be determined. We will have our Angel Tree tags available at that meeting for members to choose to purchase gifts for needy families.
