On Thursday, Dec. 10, at 4:30 p.m., the Christmas Tree at Veterans Plaza will be lit following a special musical presentation by The Entertainers club, which has performed for LW audiences for several years. The group is comprised of talented singers and accomplished instrumentalists from within Leisure World and guest artists.
During the pandemic, with all venues closed, members Eric and Sandy Nelson have continued to offer programs of music from the Great American Songbook from their porch to their socially distanced neighbors. Two other members of the club, Jeanine Greb and Vickie Van Ert, will join the Nelsons for their next show, “Christmas in Quarantine.” Watch for a link to the new show on the Leisure World Facebook page later in December. A portion of the show will be aired at the Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony presented by the GRF. Access the Veterans Plaza show at http://www.lwsb.com/treelighting/.
These events can only be viewed online and not attended in person. They will be recorded and uploaded to www.lwsb.com for those who want to see them at their leisure.
