On Sunday, December 14, we welcomed friends—both new and longtime—to celebrate the holidays, one another, and ACT’s 25th Anniversary. Our party theme, “Winter White, Be the Light,” honored the light within each of us and how that light grows as we connect and spend time together. The decorations beautifully set the holiday mood.

Although we had suggested conversation starters, they proved unnecessary as lively connections formed naturally. The food was wonderful, and the wassail was a particular favorite.

The pièce de résistance was a mini-concert by Bob Sima. With his long-standing connection to ACT, Bob truly understood the significance of our 25th Anniversary. His music was divine, inspiring the group to sing a little, dance a little, and share in the joy of the evening. We left feeling uplifted, connected, and filled with even more Light.
