We wish you joy all through the Holidays.

Here we present a few pictures from our Club Christmas party.  I hope you enjoy them.  

  

It was very festive with 21 attending the party at the Lagniappe Restaurant in downtown Ocean Springs.  We, also, held our annual silent auction that benefits the many projects of our Club.  Thank you to all that contributed wonderful items and to those that purchased them.

Our club members Julie, Mary Ann and Michael created the display of the many silent auction items.  Thank you all for a great job.

 Molly was awarded a beautiful "Happy Holidays" work of yard art, for her work at the Memorial Garden for the Christmas tree lighting this year. The award was hand crafted by our own Pat!

Patsy, the owner of  "Lagniappe", was also recognized for her outstanding work  preparing the evening's food, drink and decor!

Gulf Hills Garden Club Christmas Tree Lighting in the Memorial Garden

On December 5, 2015, the Gulf Hills Garden Club held its annual Christmas Tree Lighting in the Memorial Garden.

The weather was perfect, the treats were great and the attendees totaled more than 100.  

Santa paid his first visit to the Memorial Garden with over 30 children climbing onto his lap for a photo opportunity and to whisper their Christmas desires to our Club Santa.  The group heard carols from the Scared Heart Elementary School choir and then the lights on our newly planted Louisiana Sapphire Christmas tree were turned on.

The featured magnificent Reindeer was loaned to the Club by Pat DeHaan.  And we thank her very much.  Many, many Gulf Hills Garden Club members worked many hours on the lights.  Thank you to Mary Ann, Marge, Jeanette,and Danny, also to
Sam, and Pat, who are not members, that put in many hours of labor as well.

Molly and her elves provided the Holiday table decorations and many of the treats.  Thank you to Fay, Beth, Marge, Mary Ann for also providing wonderful treats. Non- member elves were Lou and Ken who helped with the setting up and clean up.

 It was nice to see so many of our neighbors joining in the merriment of the evening.  The lights received an overwhelming round of “oohs and ahs” of approval from the group. 

The Gulf Hills Garden Club wishes everyone a very Merry Christmas and much happiness in the New Year.
