 Akron Post-Polio Support Group Christmas Party

The Akron Post-Polio Support Group had a wonderful Christmas Party on Saturday, December 14, 2024.  We had 40 in attendance and a grand time was had by all!  Besides having a luncheon together, followed by a huge, delicious cake, the ladies showered everyone with platters of any kind of cookie you could think of!  We also had a gift exchange.  All in all, we are most grateful for the beautiful friendships we share and being able to meet every month to share and support one another.
