OJWIJ 250 people. A hefty-sized crowd for any occasion. For Cranston Senior IGuild, that was a relatively medium number. / The reason? There are 600 members, so the 250 attending the installation luncheon at Venus de Milo on June 9 seemed a bit modest to some folks there. Cranston Senior Guild~ sInstallation Luncheon When it comes to greeting new people, they sure put out the warmest mat of welcome. Such joie de vivre makes a fi rst-time visitor feel glad all over. Cranston Senior Guild began 22 years ago with85 members as a social club, meeting at Temple Torat Yisrael to play cards and sometimes travel. Ten years later, they reorganized with a charter and bylaws, because they wanted to do more for the co,mmunity. Though they share great times enjoying stimulating speakers, day excursions and vacation trips, Cranston Senior Guild reaches beyond the social scene to lend a charitable hand to 20 different agencies. Members band together from all parts of the state, nearby Massachusetts and other regional areas to join together at their TempleTorat Yisrael meeting site in Cranston. Snowbirds carry on in Florida with activities coordinated by Hy and Beverly Jacobson. Terry Murphy, a director at Cranston Department of Senior Services, filled in for Executive Director Suzette Rabinowitz, and installed Judah Rosen. The doors at Cranston Senior Guild are always open to new members 55 and over. "We ha ve lotsof wonderful times," said Rosen. "Take advantage today. Don' t wait for tomorrow," he advised . "Enjoy yourself while you can. It's later than you thi nk."
Having a grand time was this table of Cranston Senior Guild members. Seated are Ann Stairman, Norma Sondler, Florence Hanzel, Freda Brenner.
