Another Year, Another Celebration of Community

Morningside Community Organization continued its longstanding tradition of turning our December meeting into a holiday party. Chief organizer and MCO First Vice-President Twiana Odom outdid herself this year. With help from family members, she prepared a fabulous feast of chicken, meat loaf, and enough delicious side dishes to rival an all-you-can eat buffet.

Neighbors played an icebreaker game of “Human Bingo” before dinner and decorated the tiny Christmas trees that served as centerpieces on every table. After dinner entertainment included traditional bingo and live music featuring Twiana at the mic and her husband Donald on drums. The evening ended with group singing of “The Twelve Days of Christmas,” sure to be a new tradition at Morningside Christmas parties.

Special thanks to Board member Sharon Cawthorne, who helped with decorations, and Board member Nic Hall, who ran the bingo. Board members and community volunteers pitched in to help with set-up and clean-up. Thanks to all who made it a success!
