Residents of the longterm care facility at Nell J Redfield were treated to a Christmas party last week.

The highlights of the event were songs by the First Ward Activity Days girls, who sang “Witness of Christmas,” and joined residents in singing a variety of other holiday tunes, and a visit to the living center by Santa and Mrs. Claus, who handed out Christmas gifts to the residents with the assistance of the First Ward girls.

The event was organized by the American Legion Women’s Auxiliary, with members Kay Caldwell, Geneal White, and Shae Wilson, as well as visiting Gina Halladay.  Jean Thomas provided the music.  

Thanks were also due to Gene Caldwell, Brent Bowen, Shelly and Steve Daniels, Susan Wittman, Kathy Hubbard, the First Ward girls, Randy and Sherrie Martindale, and a host of elves.
