Our Annual Member Holiday Party was a success! Everyone had a great time together and adjusted well to the evening time change.

A special shout out to the Board, Staff and dedicated Volunteers who helped to make this event a successful one. Our gratitude to the Sponsors and Donors who helped with the cash bar and photo booth.

Last but not least, a very special thanks to the Angels for Humanity who supplied and passed out toys to our members after they took photos with the one and only, Santa!

We wish you all a Safe & Peaceful Holiday Season and a Happy & Healthy 2026! We can’t wait to share what we’ve been planning for this next year!
