The IDS Christmas celebration was awesome. Merle Nazareth and Teri Ochieano were the party planners for this one and they did a fantastic job with the festive decorations, delicious meal, singalong, gift exchange, etc. Ed Avina provided listening and dancing music, and IDS Jazz dancers performed All I Want For Christmas is You. Merle began the evening by welcoming everyone, acknowledging the reason for the season and giving thanks for our many blessings, following which we continued the IDS holiday tradition of sharing. Representatives from Set Free Ministries, The Pass Action Group, and DeAnn's Paass Kids stopped by to receive our thanks for their work in the community, along with our donation checks. Party attendees were also generous with food donations for distribution to those in need. Preparations are well under way for our 2024 show, which will take place Sat., April 6 and Sun., April 7. All new dances and costumes, spectacular guest performers, and a parade of international costumes. We are excited. With respect to putting on these shows, we enjoy both the journey and the destination. If you would like to be part of our fun-loving group, NOW is the perfect time to become a member. Come join us!
