VOLUNTEER CHRISTMAS PARTY The December 14th party was a great gathering of Elfers volunteers. Over 60 people crowded into the noisy, bustling Annex and the tables were groaning with food. Thank you one and all for your delicious contributions. We feasted well and were entertained first by our old friends Clark and Cindy who played the intro while we were setting out the food. Clark gave the blessing and Bill Aycrigg was there to speak to us. After eating our fill we were treated to a medley of songs from our line dance and singing duo, Sheila and Mike. All agreed that it was a most enjoyable occasion. Thanks are also due to those who helped set up and clean up. Volunteer at Elfers and join us next year! |
