Senior Halloween Party
Special Thank You!
Thanks to Roger, who organized, setup, and , once again, made this another great party for our Seniors!
Roger and his family donated and prepared most of the food. What a great caterer he would be, if he de-
cided to go into the business!
We also thank Roger for, once again completing the arduous task of keeping us in the good graces with
the Internal Revenue. He continues to do our Tax return every year!
Some of our kitchen/ set-up/serving crew.
Costumes were in order! Who
wins?
Honorary member, Mayor Pat
Murphy enjoys the festivities!
Happy smiles from our musical
team!
Our record crowd enjoys Roger’s great food, served with love and zeal, by our able crew!
