We had a lovely holiday luncheon at the Grand Oak Restaurant in Cherry Valley. There were 10 of us and we all had a very good time, with lovely surroundings. We are ready to start this years project for the Beaumont Senior Center, but have a long time to prepare. Come join us. I want to wish all Four Seasons residents and very happy and healthy New Year. ~ Dorothy Payne We began the new women's Bible study, "Believe…" last month. Twelve of the ladies who attended were given details as to how this Bible study came to be, and the vision for this study. We discussed the difference between believe, faith and trust, and cited scriptures to help define them. All Four Seasons women are welcome to and encouraged to attend this non-denominational study, and to meet and make new friends. Come join us every Friday from 10:30 to 11:30 am in the first section of the Ballroom. See you there! ~ Eileen Gilbert-Antoine.

In February we will have a Travel Event; in March, connecting to other organizations in joyous celebration and carnivals of Purim, celebrating religious freedom; and in April a full Passover Seder and reading of the Hagadah, in our Four Seasons Ballroom. Members enjoy social, cultural and religious get- togethers, connections to other organizations in and around the community, exciting seasonal celebrations, and tasting a variety of Far Eastern and Mediterranean ethnic foods and drinks.
