Rotary Senior Lunch

On Wednesday, December 1st, all members rallied at the Plantsville Congregational Church from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. to serve food and make this affair a happy experience for the attending seniors. Greg Pierce and his great staff at the Orchards provided a delicious holiday meal. Rotary is thankful to the Southington Housing Authority for providing the bus transportation for seniors from four housing facilities and donating $500 to offset the cost of food. Door prizes were provided by the members and friends of Rotary.
