Spirits were high on December 31 at St. George’s New Year’s Eve at Penna’s of<br />
Sterling Heights. The party, attended by 380 people, was a fundraiser to pay off<br />
the church loan. “Spending New Year’s Eve with my close friends while simultaneously<br />
helping raise money for my church was indeed a rewarding way to kick off<br />
the New Year,” said Ray Gabbara of Sterling Heights. “The Parish Council<br />
members devoted countless hours preparing for this fabulous, formal party.”<br />
