Christmas Holiday Party December 11, 2019
The Optimist Club of Gettysburg met on Wednesday, December 11, 2019 at the Gettysburg Lutheran Seminary Refectory. The Refectory was decorated in the Christmas Spirit.
A fantastic dinner was prepared by Biggerstaff Catering. President Marci Cropp welcomed 37 members and guests along with 8 children. Brent Smith opened our evening with the invocation.
Evening Agenda:
- Members of our Gettysburg High School Orchestra provided us with beautiful Christmas music before dinner. Tom presented the orchestra with a check.
- Before dinner Lyne Aurand provided a craft table for all children.
- The children, members, and guests were led in singing Christmas carols by Wayne in hopes that if Saint Nicholas was making a practice Christmas run, he might hear us and stop to visit. To our surprise Santa Claus did make a splashing appearance and all of the children had the chance to meet with Santa and receive a gift. Once again it was a great night for all.
