On Friday, January 25, the Waynesboro Senior Center invited the ladies who hosted our Christmas Dinner over for tea. The ladies are members of the Women’s Fellowship at Blue Ridge Chapel Church of the Brethren. With help from many of their spouses, they created a lavish feast for us in December, with more delicious food than any of us could possibly imagine. They also made wonderful fruit baskets to give to all the members and staff that attended the dinner. This tea was just a small way of saying thank you to them for everything they did.
