The first ever Marilyn's Village Christmas Gala was a huge success! Thank you so much to our guests, donors, vendors, family who watched kids so parents could come, auction buyers, and anyone who had a hand in this event!

We will make another post soon with more people who contributed to make this event happen with other photos of the night, too!

Please look through these awesome photos to get you started (thank you, Casey Jumps Photography!) and check out the great time everyone had. We are so thankful and we are already looking forward to this event next year!!

Look at all these smiles!!!

The Villagers had a great and busy week! They are each decorating a wreath with their own twist that will be up for auction at the Gala. You may or not ones designed in Chicago Cubs, 90s Country, and John Wayne styles!

Thank you so much to Wabash Valley Floral for hosting us and donating wreaths to us!!

The CMS Kindness Club also visited us this week to play games and hang out with our Villagers. We loved it! Thank you so much!!

To honor our Veterans on this day, any Veteran eats for free in the Cafe today.

We also know that some might not accept that deal. Knowong that, if you would like to message or call us in honor of a specific Veteran, we will take them a free meal today (reasonably close to the Covington area) as a token of our appreciation.

We would not have a Village if not for the dedication and service of our Veterans!

Cafe open from 11-2EST at 417 Liberty in Covington!
