Tenants Association Christmas Party!

A HUGE thank you to the Shirley Futch Plaza Tenants Association for a wonderful Christmas Dinner! The Community Room was decorated beautifully and the tables were so festive. The food (prepared and served by Gary from JR's Grill & Salad Bar) was absolutely delicious.
Here are a few pictures from our evening:

Germinators Christmas Luncheon

Throughout the seasons of the year the Germinators are hard at work making Shirley Futch Plaza beautiful! Starting in Spring, they clean out the flowerbeds in the back and ready them for perennials. Many annuals are also planted to give us some much needed color after the long winter. The flowerbed in the front and the jardinieres that line our parking lot are filled with beautiful annuals. They also hang baskets of flowers along the gazebo. Come Summer, they faithfully water the flowers and keep the beds weed-free. When Fall comes they tidy-up the flowerbeds and put colorful mums in the jardinieres. In preparation for the holiday season, Christmas greens are placed in the jardinieres and a Christmas tree is setup in the gazebo.

Despite all this, their giving doesn't stop there. They threw us a Christmas Luncheon!! There was lots of good food, great conversation and FUN.



Thank you to ALL the Germinators for your continuous hardwork! We appreciate you very much.

Christmas Tree Ornaments for the Historical Society

We made tree ornaments which were donated to the Monroe County Historical Society. The ornaments were used to decorate a Christmas tree at the Driebe Freight Station, located at 537 Ann Street in Stroudsburg. Click here to visit their website.
