Well, this certainly was a fast year. As you read this, we will be entering the season of advent and celebrating the birth of the King of Kings.
I have decided to add a trip to see the lights on Tuesday, December 19 at 4pm. We will drive to Illinois before rush hour, eat dinner somewhere yet to be determined and then go through Wonderlights. There are more than 1 million LED lights synchronized to traditional and newer Christmas music played through the car stereo. The cost will be around $5-$7 depending on how many people sign up.
Your senior adult council has planned the first quarter of 2024 and hope you will join us on our adventures.
On Wednesday, January 10, at 11 am, we will have a soup and salad lunch and then watch the movie, The Hill. This is an inspiring, true story of baseball phenomenon Ricky Hill. Ricky is extremely talented despite being burdened by leg braces from a degenerative spinal disease. Will his faith and love of the game allow him to play professional baseball? Come and find out! The movie is free but your soup and salad lunch is $7.
On Friday, January 26, we will go to Florissant to the Shrine of St. Ferdinand established in 1789. The Shrine tells the story of St. Philippine Duchesne, the Jesuits and the pioneer days of the Louisiana Purchase. The tour is free but donations are appreciated. We will follow our tour with lunch at Cugino’s, home of the stuffed meatball – YUM!
