Santa & Czech Singers visit nursing home

The Czech Catholic Home held their annual Christmas party for residents Sunday, Dec. 9.

Entertainment featured the Czech Singers directed by Frank Milder. Vocalists were Gladys Rod, Dorothy Srubar, Leon Kristynik, Hattie Kristynik, Mickey Howard, Margie Merta, Ella Merta and Charlie Merta.

Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus arrived with messages of good cheer for all residents. Those unable to join the party in the sun room received a special visit and traditional candy cane from the couple.

Residents, families, friends and guests enjoyed an evening meal of turkey and dressing with all the trimmings, red velvet cake, assorted desserts, coffee and tea.

Tables were festively decorated in linen cloths, fresh fruit centerpieces, greenery and Christmas motifs. The main serving table held chafing dishes filled with food. A gold table runner with fresh cedar was interspersed with nuts.
