Christmas Luncheon 2021- Eileen Rooney and Dawn Imbrogno chaired the festive Christmas Luncheon that was held on Thursday, December 16th in Guinan Hall. The guests were served a delicious lunch catered by Aux Delices.  Linda Withiam graciously entertained us on the piano while we sang our favorite Christmas carols.  Another highlight of the luncheon was our raffle!
