Last
Saturday, the Haynes Academy Key Club traveled to William Blvd. Baptist
Church for a special persons’ Christmas party. Before guests arrived,
members from Haynes, Curtis, Crescent City and Bonnabel were working
hard setting up tables, decorating the walls, and cooking a delicious
dinner. Christmas music was playing to set the mood as the guests
arrived and were greeted by church members and Key Club volunteers.
Guests were encouraged to get on the dance floor and show off their
moves. Key clubbers from Crescent City put on a skit about Charlie Brown
and the meaning of Christmas. Afterwards, everyone left their seats and
moved to the center of the floor to limbo. Once everyone was limboed
out, the gathering was served a delicious meal of turkey, mashed
potatoes, green beans and tea.
To
add to the festivities, all of a sudden, Elvis music began to play and
before anyone knew what was happening, “Elvis” entered and began to
jive. Everyone cheered and laughed while singing along and dancing. The
moment came that all the guests had been waiting for! The four Key
Clubs, dressed up as reindeer, escorted Santa! The guests clapped and
rushed to snap a picture with old St. Nicholas. The event was meant for a
celebration for special people but the Key Club volunteers made
valuable memories as well.
