The Cosmo Senior Centre is holding its annual Christmas party on Thursday, Dec. 1 from 5 to 6:30 p.m. and are expecting the usual turnout of between 100 to 200 people, with a twist this time around — the menu is Chinese-style food from Uptown Cafe.
"We usually expect around 100 to 200 people, but this is the first Chinese supper we've had," chuckled Bill Smith, Cosmo Senior Centre president. "So, we'll see how people like that. We thought we'd give people a change and see if they're interested. It's always been either turkey or beef before."
Cosmo Senior Centre is an important community gathering point. Their activities include pickleball, shuffleboard, and bridge, but members say the most important part of the centre is the friendships and connections it creates and protects.
The centre made a concerted effort to stay open during the COVID pandemic with a careful vaccination policy that included booster shots as soon as they were available.
Tickets to the Christmas party are available now by calling the centre at 306-692-6072 or emailing cosmo@sasktel.net.
Adult tickets are $20 per person, children six to 10 are $10 each, and children under six are free.
