SCHS New Year's Caroling invitation
New Year's caroling with the Swiss Community Historical Society returns to the Bluffton-Pandora area, after a three-year break. You are invited to join in the singing at Mennonite Memorial Home, Maple Crest and Willow Ridge.
Carolers will sing the traditional German carols composed by schoolteacher David Rothen nearly 200 years ago. Singing will be in both German and English, and music will be provided.
You are encouraged to join the group whether or not you know the songs; they are easy to learn. Please note that masks are required in all of the buildings to be visited.
Singers will rehearse briefly in the lobby of Mennonite Memorial Home at 410 W. Elm Street in Bluffton, at 2:15 p.m. Saturday, December 31, 2022. Singers are asked to arrive early to allow for the required COVID screening for entering the building.
Next, the group will go to Maple Crest and Willow Ridge on Augsburger Road west of Bluffton for further caroling.
This event is sponsored by the Swiss Community Historical Society of Bluffton and Pandora, www.swisshistorical.com
