The Sapperton Pensioners’ Association recently celebrated a significant milestone of several of its members.
Each June, the association holds an Over-90s luncheon to celebrate members who are 90 and older, or will reach the milestone this year. In addition to lunch, the event includes birthday cake (of course) and a rousing rendition of Happy Birthday to You.
Seven seniors were honoured at this year’s event: Mabel Wike; Al Vernon; Joanna Zabinksy; Bill Ward; Morgan McGrath; Emily Crawford; and Sheila Northrop. While most of the Over-90s’ crew has been recognized in the past, Wike and Northrop are newbies in the Over-90s’ celebration.
The Sapperton Pensioners Hall holds activities at its hall at 318 Keary St., including Games Day (Reno Keno and carpet bowling), a fall fair, Christmas dinner and more.
Newcomers are always welcome – and they don’t have to be 90 to join.
