Looking Back on 2024 As we step into 2025, let’s celebrate the wonderful memories from the final months of 2024:
October: Our Trick-or-Treat event brought spooky fun for all ages, while the Painting Party showcased our community’s artistic flair.
November: Despite rainy weather, the Thanksgiving Dinner was a heartwarming success. We loved seeing everyone come together for a night of gratitude.
December: The Annual Parties were a hit! Kids enjoyed Santa’s visit and gifts, while adults shared laughter and holiday cheer during the Yankee Swap.

Spreading Holiday Joy: We partnered with the Village at Fawcett's Pond and My Brother's Keeper to adopt a family in need this holiday season.
