Members enjoyed face painting, arts & crafts, a balloon artist, sweets & treats, and even a photo opportunity with Miss USA.
Games such as Pin the Nose on the Mummy, Pass the Hot Pumpkin, and Ghost Darts were enjoyed by all.
Ghoulish goodie bags were handed to all who attended at the end of the evening.
- Members, volunteers, staff, family and friends joined together in celebration of the holidays on Friday, December 12th at the Winter Wonderland Celebration.
