The holiday season kicked off with our annual League House Holiday Luncheon, a tradition that began in 2002 as a celebration with the 35 senior residents who call League House home. Hosted at the League House retirement facility on Olivetas Avenue, the event brings together volunteers and community members to honor seniors with limited incomes who are supported by the Social Service League, and this year it once again proved to be a meaningful and successful gathering.

This year’s event was especially memorable due to the spectacular decorations that transformed the space into a festive setting. Laura Applegate led the Decoration Committee and generously donated beautiful elf-themed centerpieces that delighted both residents and guests. She was supported by Susan Stevens, Courtney and Luke Snyder, Darlene Disney, and Gordon Shurtloff, whose combined efforts brought the vision to life.

On the day of the luncheon, many volunteers came together to ensure everything ran smoothly. Talyssa D’Avila, Anya Singleton, Edna Pines, Mel Segal, Jane Reldan, David Shaw, Chuck Marsh, Nan Johnson, Craig Schniepp, and Natasha Vossen all generously gave their time and energy to support the event. Their dedication and teamwork helped create a joyful and meaningful day for everyone involved, reflecting the spirit of community and care that defines the League House Luncheon year after year.
