Seniors Luncheon
For the past few weeks I’ve been planning a Valentine’s Luncheon for about 120 seniors. Working with a fabulous committee we held another successful event – our theme Spring Fling! We decorated the church basement with all kinds of spring colors, flowers and candy. We received over 90 gifts, had wonderful entertainment and great food! Here are a few photos of the decor.
On Saturday we made 130 corsages using babies breath, leather fern and multicolor carnations with a “sprig” of valentine’s hearts.
Last week we made the centerpieces using silk flowers and then wrapped them with red cellophane and green ribbon and topped with a butterfly, dragonfly or bird decoration. The centerpieces were fun to put together with a group from the team and, I think, looked great!
The decorating committee helped set up the tables with the place settings and then committee members put out handmade valentine’s from the children, chocolates, menus, games and table markers. We topped it off with the corsages. The windows which were maybe my favorite part were decorated with all kinds of flowers and grass – I thought they really felt like a garden and were beautiful! (Hard to see in the above photo but I can’t find my other photo at the moment.)
It was a really special day and I think everyone enjoyed themselves! It’s a great way to celebrate the seniors in our community and appreciate them for all they’ve done! Being one of the co-coordinators of this event I’m so grateful to all the volunteers and my family and friends who come every year and help make this event a success!
