Harvey tradition comes back to town with Lions gearing up to host Seniors Christmas Dinner

A much-loved Harvey tradition is making its grand return after a three-year hiatus. The Harvey Seniors Christmas Dinner will be back next month, with the Lions Club of Harvey gearing up to host the festive event. The dinner is free to all seniors and will be held on December 13 at the Harvey Recreation and Cultural Centre, with doors opening at 5.30pm. Harvey Lions Club president Anita Hughes said the group could not wait to bring the dinner back to the community after its 2020 event. She said the club was keen to welcome the community back to enjoy great food, live music and celebrations. “This is our first time running it, but we’re hopeful there will be many more to come,” she said. Ms Hughes said the club would not be breaking from tradition, keeping the dinner as close as possible to how the community remembered it. She said the Lions Club had been holding out for a big community project for some time and members were proud to be running the dinner. “We can’t wait to go out out there and say’ this is what we’re here to do for the community, and we hope everyone enjoys it’,” she said. “The Lions motto is ‘we serve, we care, we share’, and that’s what we’re doing. “We care about our seniors, we care about our community, and we want to share what we can do with everybody.” Guests are encouraged to RSVP as soon as possible to secure their spot by contacting Ms Hughes on 0488 291 013 or Lions Club secretary Michele Stanton on 0411 842 962, or by emailing harveylions@gmail.com.
