Mrs. Kiger said that this Christmas season, the group will be going to the White House to see the decorations, and may get to see the Nutcracker.

The seniors are required to pay for their own trips, and do so with their own funds raised from bake sales, quilt raffles, or other crafts and contributions from the community. Last year the Lions Club donated about $400 to the seniors.
