At the final meeting of the St. Kilian Women’s Guild before the summer break, the members came decked out in red, white and blue to celebrate “An Old Fashioned Patriotic Picnic.”

Following a light supper, President Judy Olenick awarded donations to several worthy organizations as part of the Guild’s distribution of yearly assets.

Over dessert the members were entertained by a wonderful remembrance slide video of a great 2015-2016 year which was created by Guild Historian Bernie Geary.

Members participate in a patriotic sing-along.

To close the meeting, member Barbara Keenan led the group in a rousing patriotic sing-a-long. Everyone left for the summer break humming “God Bless America.”
