We have a history of working Schreiber Council treats senior citizens to dinner and dance by Darren MacDonald The News Schreiber Councillors and their spouses, as well as mem- bers of the Recreation Depart- ment and other volunteers, served up a lake trout dinner to local senior citizens June 3 at the Recreation Centre. "All the senior citizens in Schreiber were invited, and 130 of them showed up," said Schreiber Reeve Bob Krause. Krause organized the dinner, which he says was intended to recognize the contributions senior citizens have made in building Schreiber. "As far as I know, this is the first time this has been done," says Krause. "June is Senior Citizen's Month in Ontario, and we felt we should do something to rec- ognize their contributions to our community." In addition to lake trout, the seniors were served strawberry shortcake for desert. After the meal, there was a dance for those who wished to stay. "We started serving them at 7 pm, and by 7:05, everyone was eating," says Councillor Ted Speziale. "We really hus- tled (to get everyone served.)" "In the letter I wrote to the seniors when I ran for election, one of the things I said we would do was recognize them during senior citizen month,'" says Krause. "And I did it." He also says that this year's event was so successful, they plan to do it again next year. "It's going to become an annual event," says Krause. "T'm sure of it."
