This past Sunday Friends for Youth celebrated the holiday season with a bang! Thanks to the donations collected by Emeritus Friendships network this summer, this year’s holiday celebration was special and one of the best yet. The donations paid for the venue, food, and gifts for every Friendship.
This year’s celebration took place at The Winter Lodge in Palo Alto, and it's hard not to get into the holiday spirit once you are there. About 30 Friendships attended and got into the holiday spirit and enjoyed a fun afternoon full of ice skating, lunch, board games, and making new friends. The Friendships were joined by their guests, staff, and a few Board members. As part of the celebration, we collected canned foods to donate to our local food bank. Thank you everyone for your generosity. The delicious lunch was provided by Arguello Catering and was super yummy!
It was great to see to everyone having such a fantastic time on Sunday, and we can only hope this special event sponsored by the Emeritus Friendships network becomes an annual holiday tradition!
