Annual Christmas Joys Program
We are on track for a great holiday program, featuring recipes, craft and sewing demonstrations, decorating ideas and more!

We will offer two sessions to accommodate schedules of attendees, so choose the time that works best for you: 1:30 p.m., repeated at 5:30.
Both session will cover the exact same information, and door prizes will be awarded throughout the programs. Attendees will receive a goodie bag and booklet of all the ideas presented.
