And cue the holiday music! We are officially in December and that means all the holiday things. Happy Hanukkah to those that celebrate. Hanukkah starts at nightfall on December 7th.  

Winter sports are in full effect at Sullivan West. Check the school website for up-to-date game information for all the sporting events this winter. Come and support our local youth.

I love that our communities offer so many different events to celebrate the holidays. Here are a few different events taking place locally:

Please join the Lake Huntington Presbyterian Church at our Christmas Carol Sing- All are Welcome!!! Join the members of the Lake Huntington Presbyterian Church, and our community members to attend our first Christmas Hymn Sing on Friday, December 15th at 5:30pm. We encourage everyone to call Vicky Krauss at 845-932-8923 so we know how many people will be attending and how much soup, hotdogs, and cookies will be needed.
