THE APRON ANNIES HCE group (and husbands) celebrated its annual Christmas party at the Center of Family Love for residents and staff. Santa, with his favorite reindeer and elf, gave out refreshments and Christmas gifts while Christmas carols were sung. The residents of the Loosen Geriatric Center began the festivities and then all the residents and staff celebrated together. Residents ended by wishing everyone a Merry Christmas.
