The success of the luncheon highlights the importance of creating spaces and opportunities for senior citizens to connect, socialize, and remain active participants in community life.
“The smiles and fellowship shared were a testament to the strong bonds within our town,” Turner said.
Turner offered a heartfelt thank you to every senior who attended the luncheon.
