Dear Poet’s Walk Family and Friends,

December is here and boy has the year flew by! Thank you to all who were able to join us for our 1st Annual Thanksgiving dinner. The food was awesome, entertainment was great but your presence and company were the best part. This month we are hosting a very curious Tea Party on December 10th at 2pm. Please bring your friends for a wonderful afternoon.

Also, please mark your calendars for our Christmas Ball on December 21st from 4pm to 7pm. Santa will be making a visit along with some of his elves. We have asked Carmen Buck to come by to do family photos and Mark Klentzman will be providing the entertainment.

As always, thank you for this opportunity to serve.
