Christmas Holiday Party December 7, 2021
The Optimist Club of Gettysburg met on Tuesday, December 7, 2021, at the Gettysburg Fire Hall. Stacey and her staff had the fire hall decorated in the Christmas Spirit. Hors d’oeuvres and a fantastic dinner was prepared again by Stacey and staff “Biggerstaff Catering”. President Gary Rappoldt welcomed 30 members and guests along with 10 children. Brent Smith opened our evening with the invocation.
Evening Agenda:
- 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 the children had the chance to meet with Santa and receive a gift. Once again it was a great night for all.
- News Flash – we received donations from the Giving Spree “ACCF”. Thank you, Joe and Fred, for all of your work.
