CLIFFORD – Seniors Centre for Excellence program coordinator Helen Edwards offered musical entertainment and hearty soups and sandwiches on Feb. 15 at the Knox United Church in Clifford.
Jim Measures offered grace before 30 people dined on a luncheon prepared by Donna Gingrich. A Valentine’s Day cake lavished with raspberry puree was dessert.
Tonia-Joy Skipper sang a variety of tunes to chase away winter. She started with Sunshine and Lollipops and Country Sunshine, added some catchy hits of the 1920s, a little bit of rock and roll, and finished with red robins, grampas, and an ode to Valentines and love.
McNamara’s Band added a dash of humour along with a couple of jokes about engraving bracelets with sentimental sayings and the joys of marriage.
People of all faiths are welcome to each of the luncheon events. Presentations are free at 12:30pm with lunch served at noon for $12. Register by calling 519-638-1000. Note: If north Wellington school buses are cancelled, so is the luncheon.
