Spokesperson for the centre, Cathy Grosvenor said, “Each table was decorated with a tin centrepiece which was filled with a paper flower fan with a cheerful Italian chef in the centre holding a big pizza, the Italian flag, red and green flowers and some raw spaghetti.
“These unique creations were made by the residents and staff in the occupational therapy activity centre.”
Residents enjoyed homemade pizza, sangria and themed cupcakes before they were divided into five teams and participated in a memory and colouring-in challenge.
The centre also hosted a best-dressed competition with residents Sylvia Dale and Enzo Merolla winning the prizes. The best-dressed staff award was won by housekeeping supervisor Hilda Mabaso.

The highlight of the evening, however, was the musical skit performed by some of the staff. They acted out the lyrics to a piece of music entitled, Home to Mama, which is an upbeat, lighthearted song about a handsome young Italian man who travels the world searching for a wife.
“The staff gave a lively, hilarious performance which had the audience laughing, singing, clapping and cheering. Mama mia, what a happy, joyful time was had by all.”
