Marines/Devil Dog Group Christmas Show at Rocky Hill VA - The Glory Girls - December 21, 2001

Kimberly returned with Stacy that Friday night for a Christmas Show for the Veterans at Rocky Hill VA. They were invited by Norman Musk and the Marines/Devil Dog Group. It was an evening of fun for everyone.
The evening started with the Devil Dogs handing out gifts and afghans that were crocheted all year by friends of the Devil Dogs.
Kimberly & Stacy start the evening with old favorites by the Andrew Sisters.
The medley includes a few great songs that our Veterans enjoy singing along to. Kimberly and Stacy also performed many solos which included some from Nat "King" Cole.
The show moved through the eras including 40's, 50's, 60's and some 70's. In keeping with the Christmas spirit, we performed many Christmas songs. We donned our white fur cuffs and collars for the Christmas sing-a-long that had Veterans requesting many tunes.

It was a great evening of fun and we were so happy to spread some holiday cheer to our Veterans at Rocky Hill VA Hospital.

CT AMVETS Because We Care Day at Rocky Hill - Ms. Royal America - December 16, 2001

Al Duff, past State Commander of CT AMVETS invited Kimberly along for the CT AMVETS "Because We Care Day" at the Rocky Hill VA Hospital. Al's wife, Pat, and Kimberly handed out gifts to the Veterans.
Santa makes a visit and the AMVETS handed out gifts and afghans to the patients. Al dressed up like Santa and he and Kimberly led the Christmas Carols through the wards.
When they returned downstairs for bingo and dessert, Kimberly sang some tunes and the Veterans joined in.
But the fun wasn't over yet. They continued with an impromptu sing-a-long of Christmas Carols. It really was a great evening.
