For a select group of seniors in the community, Christmas comes early.
Denyse Shank is the Volunteer and Special Events Coordinator at Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors at Home, having but recently joined the agency in that capacity.
She says a lot of work goes into making sure its a special day, for a special group.
The menu may not be a surprise- but it’s done to perfection by Schmitt’s Catering.
The musical quartet is also no surprise.
The fact the event is sold out is no surprise as well.
Room capacity and the event’s popularity combine to pack the premises at the St. John Chrysostom Parish Hall
In her first effort at Special Events coordination, Denyse has already learned to pluck the harp strings.
Friday December 12th, from 1130 onward at the St. John Chrysostom Parish Hall on Albert Street.
