~~ Christmas Celebration at the JP2 Friendship Center – Friday, December 20 ~~
On Friday, December 20, the JP2 Friendship Center hosted a heartwarming Christmas Eve celebration, bringing together seniors and distinguished guests, including East Village Council District representative Carlina Rivera and Pauline Fathers.
The event began with festive songs performed by jazz vocalist Malaine Giselle, along with traditional Polish carols. The holiday spirit was further enriched by recitations of poems by Norwid and Kasprowicz.
After the artistic program, attendees shared the traditional Christmas wafer (opłatek), enjoyed a festive meal, and received gifts generously sponsored by Driskoll. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed to this beautiful event, and warm holiday wishes to all!
