MERRY CHRISTMAS
From the Clearbrook Golden Age Society!

Christmas has crept up on us once again! The leaves have fallen and there’s a definite chill in the air. It won’t be long before we find ourselves wrapped up in a cozy blanket, hot chocolate in hand, watching the snow fall to the ground. It is in this peaceful state that we can reminisce about the true meaning of Christmas. Let us not forget as we gather together around the table or tree this year, that the birth of Christ is what makes this season so very special.

The holiday season comes with so much excitement often in the way of parties, banquets, and family gatherings. We here at Garden Park Tower would love for you to join us in celebrating Christ’s birth on Friday, December 15, 2006. There will be a full turkey dinner, complete with all the fixings, served in the dining hall. Tickets must be purchased from the Garden Park Office in advance and are on sale now for $8.00 each. Tickets are limited so come buy yours today!
