Thank You, Corvette Troy
We want to thank the members of Corvette Troy for putting on the Christmas Party again. This continues to be one of the best-attended events we have all year. Everyone always has a great time visiting together and enjoying the entertainment. Of course, the highlight is seeing Santa and Mrs. Claus! The Corvette Troy Charity Committee also presented our Spina Bifida group with a very generous donation of $10,000! Our Organization would not be able to do so many wonderful events if it weren’t for them. We are very grateful for all they do!
