5/14 – Young at Heart (Hales Corners)
My first Lights of the Lakes show in May was presented to Young At Heart, a senior fellowship group affiliated with the St. Mary Catholic Faith Community in Hales Corners, WI. According to the Young at Heart web page,
The St. Mary’s Young at Heart group was created in 1995 to provide social and educational opportunities for mature adults, enhance member health and wellness, and promote activities which may result in earnings for the group and our Faith Community.
Activities are defined in a quarterly newsletter, and include day trips, picnics, plays, concerts, dinners, etc.
The venue for the program was Clifford’s Supper Club, a popular gathering place in Hales Corners.
