A group had a wonderful time at the interpreted performance of the Radio City Rockettes held at the Grand Ole Opry House.

Eighteen Christmas stockings were quilted and made by Colleen Turner, Marilyn Billingsley, Beverly Geldreich, and Joyce Rutherford. In addition to making the stockings, the women purchased stocking stuffers for each of the stockings with their own money to be donated to 12 children and six adults who are in transitional housing at Safe Haven. Of all the stockings made, Joyce made the most!!!

Carenna and Mike are getting some food for themselves.

The kids enjoy the delicious meal and goof around too.

Santa Claus is quite the popular fellow!
The party was quite successful, everyone enjoyed the social time, gifts, Santa Claus, and delicious food. Special thanks from the Youth Program to our wonderful Chef, Karen, and Santa Claus!
