Our "Deck the Halls" party was held at Big Spring Country Club on December 7, 2022. After being welcomed by our President, Kate Nitzken, a performance of heavenly holiday music was shared by the Bellarmine University Schola Cantorum, directed by Dr. S. Timothy Glasscock. Our latest class of scholars was presented by Dr. Ted Scharre. They are: Cana Hibpshman, Teacher at Anderson County High School, The Globe; Ashley Albrinck, Student from Thomas More University, Oxford University; Abigail Stanger, Student from the University of Louisville, Oxford University. An ornament exchange made the event festive and personal.
