2019 Christmas Banquet - USAO Ballroom
The December 10, 2019 Christmas banquet was held at the USAO Ballroom. Guests started arriving around 6:30 and listened to music by First Look. Our very own Mitch Williams handled the keyboard and backup singing. The food was delectable: salad, green bean casserole, glazed carrots, scalloped potatoes, roasted chicken breasts, glazed ham, rolls and cobbler.
