Archway DD Services hosted its Annual Holiday Party at Lucien’s on Thursday evening. The atmosphere was festive as consumers from Archway group homes across New Jersey. Archway Direct Support Managers and Professionals, as well as staff members from Archway Administration, were among the guests in attendance.

Friends and family accompanied some of the consumers and program participants, while others enjoyed the company of their housemates and caregivers. All were greeted by the sound of music and the aroma of a delicious buffet dinner as they arrived at the party. The guests were dressed to impress and ready to show their moves on the dance floor before and after enjoying a fabulous meal.

As the evening progressed, anticipation grew for the special guest of honor to make his appearance. Heads turned as a hearty Ho-Ho-Ho erupted from atop a staircase in the ballroom. It was the jolly old elf himself! Santa had arrived ready to deliver gifts to the group home and program guests. Santa’s Helpers took special care to ensure that everyone received what they wanted, and the joy spread across their faces confirmed that Santa got it just right.
