NEWS & ANNOUNCEMENTS

The Candlelight Christmas Tour and Southern Christmas Dinner was a wonderful event. Special thanks for our sponsors- they enabled us to promote the tour and provide seasonal decorations, food and music at the museums.

We must also thank the numerous (approx. 120) volunteers -- without them, there would not be an event that brings neighbors together to celebrate the Christmas season.
