Club members along with Ryan, Stacy S., Nancy and I braved the COOL temps tonight in order to visit with about 20 of our local "treasured" seniors, and give them some special homemade Hot Chocolate Mix. Ryan even came along to help the girls sing. Then we went in and had some hot chocolate, cookies and visiting. A fun time was had by all.

There are no other events planned for the rest of the year....

Wishing you all
