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.
