The Marion Senior Center is inviting senior residents of the Marion area to join them for a celebration of the ages during their annual Senior Citizens Day Celebration on Monday, May 12, 2014. The theme for this year’s event is “Marvelously Mature” and the dinner celebration will be held at the Center, 2375 Harding Highway East.
The purpose of the Senior Citizens Day Celebration is to honor Marion County’s elderly population. During this event and throughout this day, community members are encouraged to recognize and show appreciation for the value and contribution of elderly people to home, family and society.
Lunch will be catered by L.A. Catering and served promptly at noon. The menu features Gourmet Cole Slaw, Green Beans Almondine, Red Skinned Mashed Potatoes, Pot Roast of Beef Portabella (with a Mushroom Sauce), Rolls and Butter, Peach Cobbler with Whipped Cream, Ice Tea, Coffee and Water.
At the conclusion of dinner, the Marion Senior Center will present this year’s Pearl R. Roberts Award during a special awards ceremony, where several senior volunteers will be recognized for their outstanding commitment, selfless giving and community service.
Special Entertainment for this year’s event will be provided by OnNotice, an a cappella group comprised of students and alumni from The Ohio State University at Marion. The group performs a variety of music from yesterday and today at campus functions and throughout the community.
There will also be an abundance of door prizes given away during the event, compliments of corporate sponsors and many friends of the Center.
