The Derwent and area community enjoyed an evening of merriment and good food at the first-ever Golden Age Club perogy dinner fundraiser at the Derwent Community Centre on Saturday, April 27th.

The Derwent Golden Age Club president Karen Romaniuk said that for a brand-new event, they pulled it off better than they could have imagined. “We’ve already had a great turnout from the community, and we’ve only just started!” Romaniuk gestured to the crowded Community Centre basement, filled with dinner guests. In the kitchen, the ladies and gentlemen

who volunteered their time to help out were hard at work all evening to make sure the serving dishes stayed full.

Upstairs, a live and silent auction awaited, with donated items from the community in order to help raise money for the Golden Age Club.

In response to the community support, Romaniuk said, “Volunteers from the Golden Age Club and the general community have been working hard to hand-make all this food for the dinner, and we’re all really glad to see it go so well,” she continued, “The Club is for more than just seniors – it’s something that’s available to the whole community and it’s great to see people coming out to support it.”
