Some of these activities include a movie night, game nights, weekly Dominoes Game Night on the last Friday of each month, the Cultured Pearls book club (Thanks to Lillian Stanton for facilitating and hosting), the Annual Ladies British Tea, a Back-to-School Ice Cream Social, festive Caroling around the fire pit for Christmas, and more!
