Join us at the clubhouse, Thursday, December 16th, at 7pm for a WHITE ELEPHANT GIFT EXCHANGE ($10 or less). Feel free to bring your favorite holiday treat to share and wear an ugly sweater if you wish! Happy Holidays Heathlake!!

Holiday Party

The board would like to applaud Evelyn Nordin and her volunteer team for a wonderfully festive and fun Holiday Party on Friday, December 3rd. The decorations were beautiful, the food and snacks tasty, the music and movies joyous, and the camaraderie cheery. Adults and children had a blast. Thanks again to all those who made this possible. Pictures of the event can be seen here
