They had good times of their own as they participated in club sports such as basketball and softball in which they placed second.

The season was completed by a hayride held at the Carter's farm in Letona. There were also weekly devotionals held with Alpha Tau. These were led by Phillip Sherill and were held in the Sears conference room. The year was finished with an "Old Fashioned Christmas" party held at the Wyldwood Retreat Center. The warm rustic setting was surrounded by God's handiwork. To share their joy with others the members of Gata sang Christmas carols to the elderly people at Leisure Lodge. Amy Moshier, president of Gata social club said, "Gata is a special and unique club because we have so many different personalities. Having a common bond in Christ allows us to form friendships that will last a lifetime:' ~ Alpha Tau & GATA 269
