Annual Holiday Tree Lighting
 It was windy… It was chilly…It was a school night… But none of these significant factors served to deter an enthusiastic group that numbered well over a hundred neighbors and friends from gathering for a fabulous, evening of family fun starting with the Annual Tree Lighting in Federal Hill Park
South Baltimore Recreation Center Director Josh Fissel conducted a group of neighborhood kids through a repertoire of carols much to everyone’s delight. Thanks for serenading us Josh!
Senator George Della, Delegates Peter Hammen and Brian McHale and Councilman Bill Cole were also kind enough to attend and share some Holiday Cheer
 Officer Kevin Vaught did double duty as Santa dispensing healthy holiday treats.
Anna of Trattoria Annamaria delivered a couple of platters of delicious Italian Holiday cookies. Thanks to Anna and the staff at the absolute best Italian Grocery in South Baltimore – really! How lucky we are to be your neighbors.
Tony and Clark from the Hill supplied warm mulled wine and hot chocolate (made from real dark cocoa) to help revelers take the chill off.
Our terrific Southern District Police Precinct Major Scott Bloodsworth flipped the light switch on these years Holiday Tree in the Park. Sergeant Eric Kowalczyk and South District Police Community Council President Jack Baker provided able support.
The Tree will remain lit every night through December 30th.

A Personal Note
Illusionist Spencer Horseman created some magic as he mingled, but as things began to wind down I began to realize that the real magic happened when great neighbors put aside their differences and just enjoyed each other’s company.
Hope you’re surrounded by the warmth of being with the ones you care for most this Holiday Season.
My very best wishes to you and yours!

The festive atmosphere moved indoors at the neighborhood’s newest restaurant -The Hill (1015 S. Charles).
Everyone was blown away by the great spread waiting there courtesy of Chef Antoine Petteway and his staff. A huge thank you to them and partner Clark Hudeck for hosting in style.
Thanks also to neighbor Len Homer for sharing the pictures you see here. We’ll have lots more in the January issue of the HillSider. 
; The vibe was just incredible.
Finally thanks to every one of you who supported this event by buying a ticket to the Party and contributing to the FHNA Seniors Holiday Gift Fund. Your caring contribution will make a lot folks feel a whole lot more loved this year.
