An Evening With America's Finest, Fellowship Across The Generations.

Smiles, laughter, and a sense of ease that can only come from a gathering where true fellowship is being shared, was the essence of the event, "An Evening With America's Finest."  On Saturday, 29 February, at the Parish Center of St. Rita's Catholic Church, 18 of my dear friends from The Armed Forces Retirement Center, Washington, D.C. joined my friends and parishioners of St. Rita's for an evening of delicious foods, wonderful conversations, and lively music.

Sharing The Love.

Bring out the glue, construction paper, the doilies, crayons and fancy marking pens, the glitter, and some funny decorations, and you have the makings for an afternoon of crafting some plenty incredible Valentine Cards!
