St. Patrick’s Day Party goers enjoyed a wonderful spread of appetizers catered by Publix and a delicious assortment of dinner options from homemade Shepard Pie to Corned Beef sliders. The attendees enjoyed beautiful desserts and coffee to give them energy for the last hour of dancing.

Liam our chef for the day and LBH resident also led the room in a sing-along of Irish pub songs. DJ and SAX MAN had the crowd dancing and partying till the end.

Gail Gilvey organized and hosted the party and was able to pull it off with the help of many hands, from decorating the hall to peeling potatoes and carrots, shopping, ordering food, serving each course and lots of cleaning up! It takes a village!
