Purim Party 2025

Another Purim Party in the books for The Friendship Circle!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Purim Party — we had over 240 people in attendance! It was such a joy to celebrate together and see everyone having so much fun. From the photo booth, airbrush tattoos, and balloon artist to galaxy-in-a-jar crafts, cosmic bowling, and the bounce house, there was something for everyone to enjoy!

Special shout-out to Emmy Smith for winning our candy guessing game — she guessed 500 pieces, and there were 480 pieces in the jar!

Thank you for making the day so special — we can’t wait to celebrate with you again soon!

FOTT Dinner

The FOTT Dinner was another amazing evening, filled with laughter and good times. We enjoyed a variety of speeches, and Kai really got everyone into the spirit with his hilarious knock-knock jokes. There was also some exciting Disney trivia that got everyone into the competition. The highlight of the night was definitely the yummy pizza, which everyone loved, and the great company of friends made it even more special. It was a fantastic opportunity to relax, have fun, and share some wonderful memories together.
