Sunshine Club Café Father’s Day Lunch

The Senior Citizens Sunshine Club of Vegreville has suspended their activities for a while due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. This has made raising funds to support the centre and all the expenses it requires to run the centre more difficult. So, to treat fathers to a prepared meal and raise funds, a Sunshine Club Café Father’s Day Lunch was available for everyone to purchase on June 21. The bagged lunch consisted of a hamburger or smokie, baked beans, corn-on-the-cob, fruit cocktail, and bottled water.

This meal was available as a take-out bagged lunch or people were able to sit outside and have a picnic lunch behind the centre where physical distancing recommendations were observed.

David and Rita Smyth took in the picnic lunch. When asked, Rita what made David a good father, she replied, “I was not married to him at the time he was a father, but he is very courteous and likes to show people what to do, and he helps his kids with things nowadays as much as he can.”
