Senior Citizens Picnic 2008

By Peter Gallo Jr.

In the midst of a hot spell, where temperatures were in the nineties, it was a pleasure to have this year’s 7th Annual Senior Picnic held in the Senior Center. Seniors who initially questioned the preliminary scheduling of the affair indoors were overjoyed that they were in an air-conditioned building. The committee changed the location last year because of the weather and decided that they would continue holding the event indoors. This was a wise move.

Without a doubt, the Picnic was a success. The usual food was served, hot dogs, hamburgers, all types of salads, soda, water, coffee, chocolate cake, ice cream and watermelon.

Marge from Henry’s Deli and her staff prepared the food, which was plentiful and delicious. The students who were working for the Recreation Department served the food. They were fascinated by the line dancing and expressive dancing of the seniors.

Peter Lieberman provided the entertainment. He always plays great music. No picnic would be complete without him. Local resident, Edith Avella, sang two songs accompanied by Mr. Lieberman. She enjoys the musical ability to sell a song which she mastered when she sang with the big bands.

Borough Clerk Rose Marie Sees did an excellent job preparing for the day. She is well organized and was involved with everything that was taking place. Mayor Rose Heck was there to greet the seniors and present awards to those who participated in the Senior Olympics. Story by Peter Gallo Jr. ###
