Dalton House Senior Centre celebrated a milestone event in Gowran over the weekend marking 25 years of serving the community.
With the sun shining high in the sky, our celebrations kicked off on Sunday at 1pm with our volunteer musicians starting off the festivities. Pete Hutchinson and Paul Brett took centre stage and the shenanigans began.
We took a break from the music at 2.30pm to enjoy a game of bakery bingo. With Jiggy Cleere at the helm, he called them numbers with gusto. There was great tension among the crowd to see who would win the cupcakes. We had many checks with a mad race to see who would get the chocolate orange cupcakes first.
With the music resuming, Jiggy and Paul played the next session before passing the helm to Moira Kennedy & Dick Adams. We finished out our day with the talented vocals of Andy Kennedy and Ben Walsh. Andy and Ben have been volunteering since the centre opened its doors in 1999.
We couldn’t have hoped for better weather and the support from our community. All in all, it was a great celebration and we hope to do it again in the near future. This event to mark over 25 years of community service in Gowran was a wonderful way to thank our amazing clients, staff and volunteers and we look forward to the next 25 years.
