In 2017, we held our annual June Strawberry Tea for 90+ year local residents. In July, our annual Summer Luncheon for members and guests; and in December, our catered Christmas Luncheon. A delicious home cooked Christmas dinner was thoroughly enjoyed, followed by a carol sing-a-long and door prizes.
