So on Monday afternoon, October 28th, The Pelham Civic Association held a luncheon for the Senior Citizens Club of Pelham during the senior’s weekly meeting at the Daronco Town House. Pelham Civic member Tim Case organized the Halloween themed lunch and he was joined by several other Civic members and a few of their wives to help serve the seniors lunch. In photo: Harry Wasilchak, John DeChiaro, Dr. John & Geor- gette Pacia, Tim & Joanne Case, Ed Doty, and photographer for the day, our own Todd Cross. According to Tim, “It’s always a great day when we can come and serve lunch to this wonderful group. I think the volunteers enjoy the day almost as much as the seniors.” The organized, festive event was complete with a full lunch spread and Hal- loween cookies for dessert. The Daronco Town House was filled with Halloween decorations. If you’re interested in supporting the Pelham Civics, and their award-win- ning programs, projects and events, visit pelhamcivics.org. On Friday November 8th, 2019 the Civics will be hosting their Annual Dinner Dance Gala at The Glen Is- land Harbour Club in New Rochelle… a fabulous venue for a fun and exciting time, honoring Persons of the Year, humanitarians Dr. Anne Frost (Founder of Project Community) and the Honorable Peter DiPaola (longtime charitable volunteer and government leader.)
