What an event! We celebrated our Fourteenth Annual Senior Appreciation Dinner & Program on December 4, 2009 at the Syracuse Community Center and it was a huge success for over 200 guests. It was an enjoyable experience with many folks winning prizes and getting reaquainted with old friends. Make sure you mark your calenders for next year!
