The planning for Kendal's New Year's Eve Spectacular is moving ahead spectacularly.
A great show plus a Champagne reception are planned plus a sing-along of old-time songs so everyone can join in. (For this group the old-time songs have to be pretty old). In addition there will be skits and special features. This event will be a definite WOW!
Event producer Muriel Fox has arranged for the glittering New Year Ball to fall at "Kendal Midnight" (9:00 PM)
Residents are requested to bring d'oeuvres, wine or make a donation of $5 or $10 to cover the cost of the reshments & decorations.
Checks should be placed in an envelope in the cubby of Joe/Sally Costa.
