Christmas Party 2010
The Alpine Church of Christ hosted our annual event this year and it was so amazing. We had 46 women from the House of Hope come and enjoy the party. There was games, door prizes, drawings, entertainment, hilarious videos, so much food, fellowship, and more gifts than the girls could imagine from people from all over Longview. I didn’t get a final count, but we had over 110 people there for the event. Thank you all for participating in making this a fun memory for these ladies!
