Yes,
it was time again for ULLRs to gather for a Membership Directory
Folding Party. On December 10, twenty ULLRs came to Hochstein
home which was beautifully decorated for the holidays. We began
with a chili lunch accompanied by many appetizers, salads, and
desserts. With our bodies being fully nourished, we were ready
for our Membership Directory folding jobs.
But
prior to getting started on our jobs, we paused to consider the holiday
time of year as Ray H read a poem he wrote as a Christmas greeting from
Ray and Carol. It is a beautiful and meaningful message.
Thanks Ray and Carol! _______________________________________________
The Joy of Christmas December 2018
Christmas is for Children – there is Santa Claus and toys Santa grants their wishes – for little girls and boys Exciting Christmas decorations – treats, festivities and plays Loving all the joys of Christmas – throughout the holidays
Christmas is for adults – it is the spirit of the season Joyous gatherings and gifting – Jesus’ birth is the reason Family, Friends, Community – all share the celebration It is practiced far and wide – a two thousand year tradition
Christmas is for the world – for peace in every land A time to reflect and pray – our hopes and dreams expand For a full and fruitful life – for all with a grand passion For all who keep the faith – that’s the Christmas mission _______________________________________________
Then
Folding Party Coordinator Nancy S said it was time to get to
work. With many hands, it didn’t take long to finish, but
everyone lingered sharing holiday plans and simply enjoying
conversations with good friends. Some went downstairs to play
with Galen’s marble creations. Thanks to Mary Jane and Galen for sharing their home with us.
