Holiday Celebration!

Is it really that time of year already? Carols on the radio, parking lot madness, lights on the rooftops...and the RiverWinds Holiday Celebration!

Members, residents, and guests alike are invited to the Annual RiverWinds Community Center's Holiday Celebration on Friday, December 10th, from 6:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.

Hear your favorite carols sung by our own West Deptford High School choir. Visit the Elf's Craft Shop, and come away with your commemorative ornament for 2010. Check out the big guy himself, and have a sit on Santa's lap...don't forget your picture!

As ever, this party is FREE! Celebrate the season and visit the 'Winds...your place for Family, Fun, and Fitness!

Spookypalooza 2010 - In Pictures!

This year's Spookypalooza was one of the best yet! The Costume Parade just gets bigger and better each year...and more difficult to judge!
