On Wednesday, December 10th, the Philanthropy Department at Masonic Pathways threw their annual Christmas party.  And of course Morrison prepared the food for this event.  The party was attended by over 200 residents and guests.  Chef Tonya and her staff make hot and cold appetizers and displayed them in a Christmas theme.  Needless to say everybody was very happy with the treats and display.
