Join us in celebrating the spirit of the holidays by helping to decorate our Community Tree! Get creative and customize your very own ornament from an assortment of craft supplies. We can’t wait to see the beautiful wooden bulbs you’ll design to hang on our tree.

Join us for a dose of holiday cheer! We'll have an exclusive unveiling of a new and important icon acquisition at 5:30, followed by our annual tree lighting. Mingle with fellow members while enjoying festive treats and enchanting seasonal tunes by guitarist Steve Rapson.

Get ready for some festive fun with our Saint Nicholas scavenger hunt. Join the merriment and explore the galleries. Once you’ve completed your scavenger hunt page, bring it back to the front desk for a chance to win a special hand-painted Santa. Let the holiday spirit guide your quest!
