Ladies’ Night Out Video Presentation from May 6, 2016
Last night, we would have been holding our 16th Annual Ladies’ Night Out dinner and Hilda would have been snapping her photos as usual. However, since the event was cancelled this year due to the pandemic, I’ve had to dig into our archives to replace what would have been a current photo slideshow.
What I found and posted here is a DVD video that was played at our dinner on May 6, 2016. The video was accompanied by Sheila Kiess’ presentation of Women in St. Matthew’s History. The contents of that presentation can now be found HERE ( also in video form)
