Happy “Allidays”
The Villages Hiking Club invites members and other Villagers to join us for a December “Allidays” talk on Monday, November 30th at 7 PM in the Foothill Center. Our speaker, Richard Holmboe, will honor the religious, cultural and fun holidays that we celebrate in the month of December. These include Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa, Festivus and New Year’s Eve. He will cover history, religious and secular aspects, family traditions, images, and fun. Be prepared for colorful slides, and a fun video.
Richard lives in The Villages with his wife Arlene. In his civilian career, he worked mostly for HP and Agilent Technologies. He spent a good part of that career writing high-tech manuals and training courses. He also spent 22 years in the navy and naval reserve – in submarines, surface navy and naval air. He has been a popular docent at the Pigeon Point lighthouse near Pescadero for several years.
The program will follow a short club business meeting and a break for socializing with snacks and beverages. The meeting is free, and open to all Villagers.
