Thank you to everyone who made our LLCC Holiday Party last week a memorable time of connection and celebration. Special thanks to Jolene Lamb for organizing and leading the planning and for selecting a wonderful menu, and to Julie Clevenger and Debbie Bell who assisted. Their vision and attention to detail made the event a success. Our talented musicians, Cody Cox and Gianna Hines, set the festive mood, and mixologist Sheridan Lane crafted delicious beverages.
