So, choose wisely and reap the benefits of love and good friends! This month is the month of our Savior’s birth. What a joy to celebrate it with song! On Monday, December 6 at 5:30 p.m. in the Rec. 1 Ballroom, come to Let’s Do Something. Please bring a dish to share with your own plate and silver/plastic ware. Our cooks are the best in Leisure World because they are you — the residents — who go out of their way to serve scrumptious homemade fare.

LW Chorus Submitted by Bruce Collier You may have experienced a similar situation: You walk into a crowded peaceful place, you look around and see nothing but gentle people. Then, maybe you think, “Gosh! It seems like there are angels among us!” At the end of the year, December provides both fun and challenges. Maybe the challenges become Christmas shopping blues. But then, seemingly as if by magic, your Leisure World Chorus reappears transforming those two instances into a musical yule escape for the first time since our 2019 holiday show. We have got a great program to perform for you on either Saturday, December 11 at 7:00 p.m. or Sunday, December 12, at 3:00 p.m. Both will offer warm feelings and wonderful music in the Hopi Pima Room in Rec 2. Tickets are available at the Recreation Office in the Rec. 1 courtyard. Merry Christmas! We hope you will join us!
