Sociable Singles committee member DeLucchi and Social Singles President Coleman teamed up with committee members Claris Colley, Ann DeLuna, June Holloway, Treasurer Jim Kelly, Vice President Vicky Linscott, Connie Orlando, Isabel Soares, and Alberta Talley to provide a wonderful holiday evening for all Sociable Single members.

The dinner, which was provided for members at no charge, included prime rib and was catered by Norma Schuler as only Schuler and her wonderful crew could do.

A donation to the Second Harvest Food Bank was requested from members in order to sign up for the dinner, and over $800 was collected for the charity which provides food for local residents in need.

The evening of wonderful food and camaraderie was topped off by Vlcek, "Master of Mystifying Magic”, whose magic was truly mystifying and whose showmanship and humor ranked at the very top of the entertainment scale.

Sociable Singles members Carolyn Salciccia, Lucy Ann Mazur, and Mike Campillo volunteered to assist the humorous magician, and their personalities added immensely to the entertainment for the wonderful evening.
