The December 22 Christmas Luncheon at the Community Center for the Cooper City Seniors was abuzz with laughter, happy greetings and hugs, and smiling folks! Colorful Christmas decorations on the tables and walls with the lovely volunteers wearing their Santa hats brightened the room. This was the setting for a bountiful buffet luncheon served at Noon.
As the guests arrived, Santa Claus (Commissioner Jamie Curran) stood in an alcove to greet them and a photographer took pictures of Santa and guests. These pictures were ready to pickup prior to the guests leaving the luncheon. What a great treat!
The seventy Cooper City residents who attended went through the line with sliced ham or meatballs and ziti as their entree choices and a huge variety of vegetables and salads. Two long tables held the many different pies, cakes, brownies and cookies from which to choose for dessert. Many groaned and declared they were so "full" but continued to make dessert selections!
Commissioners John Sims, Jeff Green, Lisa Mallozzi and City Manager Bruce Loucks attended and talked with the guests. Commissioner Green and Mr. Loucks helped serve. Their presence added to the joy of the day!
Games preceded the luncheon with lotto scratch-off tickets as prizes. The beautiful poinsettias which were the centerpiece of each table were taken home by a winner sitting at that table.
The guests left having enjoyed a delicious luncheon with their friends and neighbors, having talked with Santa Claus and carrying the cherished pictures taken with him.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!
