Christmas

at the Grafton Senior Center was again wonderful. One could attend an evening dinner and/or a luncheon. Both had delicious food and live entertainment.

The Golden Tones Chorus is now lead by a new director, Beth. Their performance for the Christmas party was wonderful. |
They sang songs we rarely hear anymore as well as those Christmas carols we know well and love. They are trying different harmonizing and pushing themselves into new, creative performance styles. |
