No Silent Night
Thanks to the 30 carolers who spread holiday cheer
throughout EE last Thursday at the second annual Christmas
Caroling. Special thanks to choirmaster Rich

organizing the event. |

Perambulating Through a Seasonal Fantasy?
Familiar
carols? The carols were familiar--even if the names were
not--when EE residents collaborated to solve the puzzles
presented by Joan
Moreaux. More than 50 Esperanzans joined the merriment
at the festively decorated Ramada--feasting on the munchies and
sipping the "velvet gloved" punch and Aztec hot chocolate.
Hearty holiday thanks go to Marla
Ries and the
cadre of hosts and hostesses responsible. |
