Our last meeting of 2025 was one of the highlights of the year. We ended the year with our holiday luncheon. Always very well attended and full of good cheer. Our favorite choral group, "Out of the Blue" from High School North was again performing, introduced by their Faculty Advisor, Dr. Ken Carter.
They sang some traditional holiday songs as well as a few non-holiday selections. Check out the sample video of their performance on our Facebook page. A wonderful way to enter the holiday season and wrap up 2025.
Our club completed many great projects that helped a wide variety of people. We look forward to expanding our service to the community in 2026 and we hope you will join us for that journey. Happy holidays and a very peaceful New Year to one and all.
