Please let Sheila Hively know if you plan to attend by phone or text at 614-962-1291 or email zaemsc57@gmail.com.
The Christmas meeting and party are always a wonderful time for family, friends and new members to enjoy a fun day as we gather items for our Adopt-A-Families. The Irish Woman of the Year is named. We have a great meal and a festive time with the annual Rowdy Raffle! Get your raffle gifts together (single items, theme baskets or decorations). You can also shop at the fundraising table!
