Looking Forward to an End-of-Year Celebration

Trolley Junction

Now that 2020-21 officers were installed on May 21, we hope to still have a celebration/holiday party at the end of the year.

Program chairs Bernadette Sylvester and Penny Savelly will be planning this party. The date remains up in the air as we continue to hope we will be past the current COVID-19 lock down.

The party, when held, will be a celebration of not just the holiday season but a chance to reunite and socialize. We can experience the joy of coming together once again in friendship. Stay tuned and check the Lodestone and here for updates.
