BPD Serves Up Holiday Luncheon for Seniors

On Monday, December 8, volunteers from the Burlington Police Department served up a holiday feast for local seniors at our annual Senior Holiday Luncheon. A full course of turkey, stuffing, potatoes, squash and dessert were among the goodies dished out during this annual event.

Officers Steve Cross and Keith Sheppard facilitated the event and were supported by a cast of volunteers from the police department, including Cathy Devaney, Rosemarie Tieri, Officer Lyn Reynolds, Officer Ed Mackey, Lieutenant Steve O'Meara and Chief Fran Hart. Marge MacDonald from the Council on Aging also played a major role in organizing the event.

Besides dinner, guests enjoyed Christmas carols sung by seven of the volunteers' kids. The kids also served as waitresses, raffle-ticket-callers and as part of the clean-up crew. They were the real stars of the show.

Raffle prizes were drawn and included gift certificates, books, games and more.

The event is paid for by the Burlington Police Patrolmen's Association.
