Retired Educators Celebrate Christmas with Paul Murphy

Our Moore County Retired Educational
Personnel held a festive and informative
meeting on Wednesday, December 3.

The Central Office was decked out for the season.

Sandi Keyser provided tasty holiday snacks.

Sandi called us to order with a wonderful
new bell that caught her eye.  Jingle, jingle.

Ken and Chipper played Christmas music
as members gathered and filled their plates.

Sandi led us through an abbreviated agenda,
settled several administrative matters, shared
information, and reminded all to turn in their
volunteer hours.  Raffle items and door prizes
were handed out to some delighted winners.


Here's a sample of her classy prizes!

With business behind us, it was time for
the big treat of the day: a wonderful time of
Christmas keyboard music by Moore County
maestro Paul Murphy.

Paul's music ranged over the entire spectrum
of holiday favorites, from light-hearted to
dream-like to inspirational.

His music drew in several school employees
from their offices for a much-needed break.
A special moment was when Anita Alpenfels
and Paul blended for an impromptu duet.

A brief video of their performance may be
available on Facebook.  Search Ken Loyd.

The meeting adjourned for the holidays with
everyone's spirits lifted and ready for what
would surely be a happy and busy Christmas.
