La Comedia–A Christmas Carol

Our December Day Trip, Dec. 16, was to visit La Comedia in Springboro and see the musical play “A Christmas Carol”. I think everyone enjoyed the experience and the musical.

Our seats were on the main floor just off the stage. This is may be the last time we’ll get these seats because we could go up one level and see a bit better and certainly have more comfortable seating. Floor seating is certainly good for being close to the action of the plays and also for access to the buffet. It is also nice to be able to fill our plates with food and not be concerned about navigating the stairs. Anyway, we will try different seating to see how it works for our groups.

The play was outstanding with great acting and music. I recommend it for great Christmas entertainment and a good meal, too!

Christmas Luncheon–Burt Kettinger (December 13, 2011)

This month we celebrated Christmas in a wonderful way at our Young at Heart Luncheon! We started with some very nice piano and organ music by my favorite musicians, Nancy Jensen (Organ) and Grace Averitt (Piano). Then, I did my normal opening with jokes, prayer and recognition of new people, birthdays and anniversaries.

But our real program was our special friend, Burt Kettinger who came here from the Chicago area to do a Christmas Vocal Concert and speak. Burt has been to our church and here at Young at Heart a number of times and always does an outstanding job. He is a featured vocalist on “Songs in the Night” from the historic Moody Church in Chicago and does concerts worldwide. We are very fortunate to have him here and even more so to be able to have him for a special Christmas program. You can hear his concert by clicking the link below.

Of course, we wouldn’t be a luncheon without our meal in the gym. Today, we had ham and noodles, yams, cranberry salad and red velvet cake all prepared by Lisa and her able staff of cooks, servers and the various other help with the tables and cleanup. Greg brought some of the staff from Fifth/Third Bank to assist with the serving as a special service project for the bank. Thank you Greg. Next month Greg will be our featured speaker on the subject of the economy.

It was truly a great day!
