Happy New Year — We’ll Take a Cup of Kindness
Should old acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind
Should old acquaintance be forgot
And days of auld lang syne
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We’ll take a cup o’kindness yet
And days of auld lang syne Should old acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind
Should old acquaintance be forgot
And days of auld lang syne
Let’s take a moment this New Year’s Eve to reflect and say Thank You to all who contributed to the successes at LUM in 2016.
