Despite the lousy weather, we enjoyed a lovely afternoon ringing in the holidays with fellow League members, family, and friends at our annual Holiday Luncheon at Waveny House, where the historic halls are decked and ready for the season.
As per usual, the Apple Cart Food Company prepared an absolutely delicious spread, and we were serenaded by the truly incomparable New Canaan High School Madrigals. Thank you to everyone who made it out – and made today happen. If you missed the Madrigals, you can hear them at their Winter Concert tomorrow evening at 7 PM at St Marks. We will be hosting our Annual Holiday Luncheon on Tuesday, December 10th from 11:30 AM – 1:30 PM at Waveny House for members and their guests. Luncheon attendees will enjoy delicious fare from Apple Cart Catering, and entertainment from the New Canaan High School Madrigals.
