The Village Strings will perform “White Christmas,” “The Christmas Song,” and other pop favorites.
Get out your Santa hat, invite your friends, and join the Village Strings and the folks at McAuley Center on Monday, December 11, for a magical afternoon that will entertain and leave you with the spirit of Christmas that will carry you through the holiday season.
The program begins at 11:45 AM and showcases contemporary interpretations of Yuletide favorites arranged by Chip Davis for Mannheim Steamroller. “White Christmas,” “The Christmas Song,” and other pop favorites evoke the essence of chestnuts roasting and favorite childhood memories.
Lunch begins at 11:30 AM and the suggested donation is $3.50 for people over 60. For others, the cost is $5. McAuley Center is located at 5010 Hwy 7 North, Hot Springs Village. You won’t want to miss this opportunity to enjoy lunch with friends while the Strings bring back memories of Christmas past, most importantly you’ll be supporting Meals on Wheels, a much-needed organization.
Funded by the Older Americans Act, Meals on Wheels provides 400 meals each day to area residents. Donations to the program are crucial. More than 50 volunteers from Hot Springs Village and Older Worker Programs serve the Village and the city of Hot Springs. For more information or to volunteer contact McAuley Center at 501-984-5594.
