ACE CHRISTMAS CAROLING - (Email Lisa Eckhardt if you have questions on this)

It's almost time for Christmas and that means it's time to go Christmas caroling again!! All ages are welcome to join us on either or both dates to sing traditional and secular carols. The residents love the children so don't worry if you don't have a beautiful voice, just come out and sing!

When:  Thursday, Dec. 8th @ 10:00 a.m. at West Hickory Senior Center 
                                             OR

            Tuesday, Dec. 13th @ 10:00 a.m. at Trinity Ridge (Mountain View)

PLEASE RSVP so that I can let them know how many people to expect. The deadline to sign up is 2 days before each date listed above.

What to wear: Casual attire

Additional info for DECEMBER 8th:  If you choose to join us at West Hickory Senior Center, we sing first, then we join them for a Christmas party with heavy snacks. We each bring a snack to share and everyone has a great time!

Please arrive at 9:50 a.m. so that we can go in together and be ready to start right at 10:00.  

The music lyrics are attached. Please print a copy for each person in your family unless you are willing to share with each other. I will not have extra copies for you to use at the caroling. If you still have your copies from last year, we are using the same songs/lyrics.

I look forward to the joyful sound we will make at each place and seeing all of those smiles!  If you have any questions, please let me know.

Thank you!
