Alberton Methodist Church celebrates senior citizens

Young At Heart of Alberton Methodist Church hosted a special day for the elderly to celebrate Women’s Month in a glamour event where non-perishable items were donated.

Young At Heart had elders glued to their seats as they were treated with good food and entertainment by Chris Skinner.

Otima Jeffery said: “I am always looking forward to coming to such events, it’s the only time we get to enjoy ourselves. We get a chance to enjoy the day with others and celebrate being a woman.”

Young at Hearts is aimed at bringing elderly people together on a regular basis and showering them with the best time of their lives.

Older women have proven adept at turning their hands to just about anything. They are advisors for family and close friends, organisers of social and community events, leaders of campaigns and community initiatives, caregivers for grandchildren and other family members, custodians of knowledge, traditions, stories and songs and creators of artistic and edible delights.

The elders thanked Young At Heart for the special day.

Sandra Human said that: “To mark Women’s Month, think about the older women in society and how we can better celebrate them.”
