Narre Warren Senior Citizens Club members celebrated Christmas in style last week when they held their holiday break-up party on Wednesday.
The all-day celebrations were held at their club and consisted of several events throughout the morning and afternoon including a concert, a Christmas lunch catered by Southern Star Caterers and a carols performance.
Narre Warren Senior Citizens president Bernadette Gonsalvez said the Christmas celebrations were nothing short of “grand”.
“Members walked in to find the hall decorated beautifully with tinsel and streamers, balloons and fairy lights sheathed in tulle,” she said.
“The tables were set with lace cloths, serviettes folded in red and green tapers and Christmas songs playing through their sound system.
“Members were also treated to a variety concert put on by the Tuesday morning Sing-a-long Group, then the raffle of 12 Christmas hampers was drawn, followed by a lunch with a choice of meats, a variety of salads and yummy desserts,” she said.
Following the Christmas feast and spinning wheel prize draw, Ms Gonsalvez thanked members for their faithful attendance and support throughout the year and looked forward to seeing them again in 2014.
When the party finished, members were heard commenting on the success of the day, with one 23-year member remarking that it was the best Christmas break-up party that the Narre Warren seniors had ever had.
