    Strawberry Breakfast

    Strawberry Breakfast is a long-standing Allendale Columbia tradition and features a short program honoring the seniors with dances, songs, and special ceremonies.

This year’s Strawberry Breakfast will take place in the AC courtyard from 8:30 - 10:00 a.m. on Friday, May 23rd.
