Members Christmas Musical Lunch
With the end of the year upon us, all of us at Cairns Senior Citizens have been busy, busy, busy! One of our highlights was the recent Members Christmas Musical Lunch, and what a joyful celebration it was!
We welcomed 40 attendees who enjoyed delicious food lovingly prepared by our amazing volunteers. The atmosphere was filled with laughter, good cheer, and plenty of holiday spirit.
A special moment of the day was when the wonderful Doris Munro led everyone in a lively singalong to The 12 Days of Christmas. It was heartwarming to see the smiles, hear the laughter, and feel the festive energy in the room.
Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make this event so special. Here’s to more laughter, good times, and community in the year ahead!
