Nearly 100 senior citizens were treated to a three-course Christmas luncheon on November 26 at Broadford Shire Hall with support from the Rotary Club of Southern Mitchell.
Jordie Cook and his loyal workers cooked and served the lunch while a local team of Broadford singers and musicians provided entertainment on the day.
Rotary Club of Southern Mitchell member Ian Dempsey said the menu on the day consisted of lamb and vegetable soup, roast beef and pork, potatoes, peas, carrots, pumpkin and gravy, fruit salad, and plum pudding with custard and cream.
A choice of sherries were provided and gifts were available for all with many taking home multiple items.
Rotarians also provided transportation to and from the event for those who had difficulty attending.
There were also 30 volunteers from the community including people from the Bendigo Bank, Broadford Mill and Broadford Newsagents.
Entertainment was provided by Leanne Paice, Broadford singers and backup musicians providing a fantastic selection of Christmas Carols and popular songs.
Mr Dempsey said the day went well.
“The Rotary Club of Southern Mitchell would like to thank all our very supportive sponsors and donors,” he said.
“A great day was had by all, with very positive feedback and comments being received.”
Next year’s luncheon is expected to be November 24, 2024 at the Broadford Shire Hall.
