Council 6358 Christmas Party

Council 6358 (Good Shepherd, Schertz) used its annual Christmas party as an opportunity to raise awareness and funds in support of wildfire relief efforts in Maui. Partnering with a local Hawaiian culture society, the Council held an authentic Hawaiian luau for its members and their families complete with a Hawaiian blessing, a roast pig parade, live music, and hula & fire dancing. There were also several raffles, a festive poetic gift exchange, and a visit by Santa Claus himself. More than 150 people gathered to say prayers, sing songs, have Hawaiian-style fun, and provide much-needed support for Hawaiian Americans in need this holiday season. God bless us, every one!
