Geraldton and Districts Senior Citizens Action Group enjoys festive spirit at 2023 Christmas Party

More than 100 people gathered to celebrate the festive spirit at the 2023 Seniors Action Group Christmas party. On Tuesday, December 12, 104 people attended the event at the Queen Elizabeth II Centre, which was opened by the group’s president Lina Mittoni. Morning tea was followed by entertainment provided by musical group, Never Too Late. Special guests included some of the group’s sponsors throughout the year, including Bendigo Bank’s Kelly Eastough and former City of Greater Geraldton mayor Shane Van Styn. Other sponsors Geraldton MLA Lara Dalton and Agricultural Region MLC Sandra Carr were ill and unfortunately could not attend. The group is grateful for its sponsors, who provide funding for a variety of competitions. Other guests at the Christmas party included Bob Hall and Rosetta, Pavlina, Peter and Yenni from the QEII Centre. Card raffles were won by Trevor Hansen, Dexter Fowler, Lina Mittoni, S. Parkin and Rhonda Parker. A delicious three-course meal was served by Angie’s Bella Catering. About 50 prizes were on offer, which were drawn during the festivities, with first prize going to Jenny Keen and second prize to Wendy Eastough. Ms Mittoni was thanked for her invaluable expertise in organising the party, as well as the helpers who set up the day before and on the day. Wishing everyone a very Happy Christmas and look forward to seeing you all in 2024, which for us commences on Monday, January 8.
