December

A year-long tale of history A chapter of our age,

As we approach the writing Of this year’s final page.

Recount the paths you’ve traveled. The good things that you’ve done. The friends you’ve made or lost.

Remember them with fun.

Joe Medrano

We welcome in the Holiday season and this year’s first snow (whoopee.) November was fun – The Scottsville Clowns were terrific, All Hands on Deck honored our Veterans, Lancaster Christmas rang in the holidays with music, song and dance. Now we’re off to Las Vegas to win lots of money and enjoy a few shows. December also has us celebrating in Chicago, seeing Jersey Boys, and eating lots at Turkeyville while enjoying their Christmas Show. All trips will be departing from the Target store on Carpenter Road near Ellsworth. We’ll park near the McDonald’s, so you can grab a quick cup of coffee before boarding the coach. Thank you Target for allowing us to use your parking lot!
