  2. Marcelyn and I (along with our friend and neighbor Suzi) were part of the first seating for this wonderful event. Exquisite food, attentive service, excellent music (both keyboard and vocals), and great conversation and camaraderie. All of this was a fund raiser to help the first responders who serve our community, and a Christmas gift collection event for the less fortunate children of our community. What more could anyone ask for! One of the things that impressed me was the attention to details. For instance, each table had a hand-crafted decoration. Each attendee had a name placeholder at their assigned table. There was a customized menu, decorated for the special occasion, and printed on linen paper. Each female attendee received a red carnation. The menu itself was interesting, including collard greens, which is not something that ever was on my family's Christmas menu, but boy howdy did it taste great. The ham and mashed potatoes, etc., were succulent. Nothing could be faulted. One might suspect that Linda Hart and Chef Chris out did themselves in preparing for this event. There were some unexpected surprises as well, including the arrival of Santa and Mrs. Claus, not to mention the vocals by three ladies. Everyone got big hugs and expressions of thank you and good tidings. We are already looking forward to next year's event, which we are told will likely be a three seating event because both seatings set up for this year were sold out and there was a waiting list. Thank you to all who made this event possible. And we hope there was a huge collection of Christmas gifts for the kiddies this year. Here are the pictures that we took, followed by a short video clip of one of the songs being sung.
  3. For those who may be unfamiliar with the "orange economy" concept, idea, or philosophy, here are a couple of links to review: https://www.iadb.org/en/news/news-releases/2017-07-13/orange-economy-innovations-in-lac%2C11841.html https://connectamericas.com/content/orange-economy-how-define-it Or do a Google search for other resources. Here are two documents (one in Spanish and one in English) discussing the "orange economy". Note, these are large PDF documents (about 6.5MB each), and so they may take a while to download to your computer. La economia naranja_ Una oportunidad infinita.pdf BID_The_Orange_Economy Final.pdf
