The Senior Dinner is always the social highlight of the spring season. In fact, if the Rotary  Club waits too long to schedule the event, the seniors will call us and ask us to speed up the scheduling. And this week was another in the continued successes of the Club. Everyone turned out to help, and I mean EVERYONE.

We had, Walter Heller, President Bart, Roger Jacobs (and Nancy stuck her head in the door for 2 minutes), Donn Sladen and Carol, Beatrice Hurwitz, Sue Katz brought Ed Corbo, Judy Rego, Ben and Renee Summers, Alden Mitchell, Janet the scholar  came in just under the wire. Jack Borror brought Linda, daughter Kirsten and 3 teenage boys from family and friends  which gave us the numbers to get the job done. . . . . And    Bill Coulter. What would a Rotary event be without Wild Bill on the 88’s? He  brought out the inner child from everyone as they sang along with his robust arrangements. He is definitely a man with many skills and talents ( the only man that could  make us a “singing club”).

Thank you to Walter Heller for picking up the wine at an out-of-town store. Who knew that $3 wine could taste so good. For those of us that are still thirsty, see Walter to purchase any extra bottles. Thanks to Sue K, Carol and Judy for the fresh flower arrangements.

Paul Mitchell was there 2 hours early and he was the hero of the night. All the seniors look forward to seeing him, since he has been gone from the Life Care Center for several years.  He works like a draft horse and produces the most wonderful spaghetti dinner. A three-course meal with wine, white and red. He has the production line set up so efficiently and a meal for 94 is uneventful (for an event). Paul is currently working as a chef at an upscale facility in Newton/Chestnut Hill and has been a loyal contributor to the Senior Dinner for many years.

Next week our speaker is Brian Noble. Enjoy this lovely weekend with our first really warm weather in the 70’s. See you at the Mill Wharf.
