On Thursday, December 12, 2024, we celebrated our Annual Potluck Holiday Party. We all brought dishes to share and, since we all are good cooks, we ate very well. NGS Board President, Eva Mannaberg, thanked the 2024 Volunteers for their faithful work.
We were entertained by folk singer, Ruthie Seidner, who had us all singing along and tapping out feet.
