Community Connections Holiday Special
Performances and Activities Led by Our Program Participants
Participants in Community Connections programs have traditionally been involved in decorating trees, leading activities and performing at the event. With the limitations of COVID-19, people have had to be more creative in their participation. To continue the tradition, a group of Community Connections adult services clients offered their contributions to building the holiday spirits. From holiday baking to carols to poems and music, this clips are intended to represent how we each celebrate the season. These are rough cuts--our contributors were embracing the technology they had available, just as we all have been. So though the audio may not be perfect or the framing may be off, we hope you'll appreciate the spirit with which these performances were offered. Happy holidays to you all!
