Peachtree Inn CHRISTMAS TIME AT PEACHTREE The Orchards At Foxcrest hosted many carolers this holiday season. First off was the Ebony & Ivory choir from Wellsville, Ohio. They are under the new leadership of Aaron Bunfield. Eight students sang many carols for the residents. We invited them back in the spring for a spring concert. Next came the Lighthouse Baptist Church group, led by Pastor Joe Hamilton. Pastor Joe hosts our vespers every Thursday at 10:30.The nursing students from the JD Rockefeller Center came next to sing carols through all three buildings They sounded great. The Beaver Local Chior, led by Alison Hamilton, also made their annual visit to the Orchards. It is always a pleasure hosting them. After the students performed, pizza and cookies were served for lunch. Our final group was led by Cliff Hutchinson. His church group from Free Methodist in Hookstown sang in the dining room. Then they proceeded across the entire campus to all the buildings. A special thank you to all of the groups who volunteered their time. The residents and staff truly appreciate them taking time out of their busy schedules.
