The annual Christmas Dinner was held last Sunday December 9, 2012. We enjoyed great attendance. We are thankful for the delicious and abundant festive food donated by Deacon David Gaydos and his wife Laurie, prepared by Edward and David Obssuth and their helpers.
The Sunday school students presented a program which invited the audience to participate in singing Christmas Carols. A special cake was made to honor the birth of Jesus. St. Nicholas came and distributed gifts to the precious children asking them in return to be good for another year.
We thank Renata Cyman who decorated the hall, Claire Centrella who with the help of Merry Sleece and ANS members organized 20 baskets of Tricky Tray. In addition to that, there was a 50/50 cash prize and ANS Basket of Cheer raffled. Our words of appreciation are addressed to those who helped to clean up after the event.
