A Great Open Day


Townsville Senior Citizens were thrilled to welcome 150 people to the Open Day at their Ryan Street Centre on Thursday, 12th September, 2013.  The happy occasion was opened by the Mayor, Mrs Jenny Hill, with Councillors Gartrell and Walker also present.

After a delicious morning tea, guests enjoyed viewing the Thursday activities and seeing both “Seniors Creating Change” and the Townsville Senior Citizens line dancers performing their favourite numbers.  Next came a terrific variety show by Patrick and A.J. who provided their audience with a great program of comedy, singing and music.  The Open Day wound up with a tasty sausage sizzle.

Many thanks to everyone who participated in the Open Day and to Vice President Maureen Fewin and her merrie band of helpers whose hard work made it all possible.  You turned on a great Open Day for the seniors of Townsville.
