2006 JV Christmas Party

For a school project, two Reitz High School students, Tricia Filingim and Leslee Hahn arranged and organized the 2006 Jacob’s Village Christmas Party. The party site for the second year in row was Seton Hall, a reception room at The Daughter’s of Charity home, on New Harmony Rd. Scheduled for 3:00pm Saturday afternoon, December 09; guests began arriving an hour early for joy and fellowship. All the Jacob’s Village residents: Wanda, Donna Kay, Debbie, Mike, Michael, and Scott, some residents’ family and or guardians, employees, home coordinators, board members and special guests made up the mix of about 40 in attendance. Everyone was in a pre-holiday jolly spirit enjoying one another’s company. The afore-mentioned two students from Reitz High School, Tricia and Leslee, had Fazoli’s Restaurant cater the meal’s main course of Spaghetti, Lasagna, and Ravioli. The Pasta Entrée’s were complimented with Breadsticks and a Salad. GD Ritzy’s furnished an assortment of Ice Cream treats for dessert, one being of an Egg-Nog variety; although all Ice Cream flavors from GD Ritzy’s are a tasty treat. Jacob’s Village always enjoys and looks forward to Ice Cream treats courtesy of GD Ritzy’s. Additionally for dessert, the mothers’ of the two students had prepared homemade cookies and a tasty holiday punch. Angela Goedde, Activities Director at Woodbridge Health Care Center and a Karoke Master, was the entertainment for the party with her singing. Angela’s renditions of traditional Christmas songs and other favorites were good to usher in the Season. While everyone was enjoying the treats, mixing it up and feeling good, Santa Claus popped in with a few Ho-Ho-Ho’s and Merry Christmas’s bearing gifts and good tidings. Santa Claus, with his red bag over his shoulder, had gifts for each resident including a new blue shirt with the Jacob’s Village logo on it. The employees and home coordinators also received a new shirt as well. Not yet finished with their giving, Tricia and Leslee gave even more. They gave each resident a small red bag of an assortment of holiday knick-knack goodies. All residents of Jacob’s Village wish to send a big heart thank you out to Tricia and Leslee for organizing a memory making party. Group photos were taken, some with Santa Claus, others of friends and families. A joyful and festive good time was had by all at the 2006 Jacob’s Village Christmas Party at the Daughter’s of Charity’s Seton Hall.
