COA and Friends of Elders honor those born 1939 and earlier

On July 28, the Mendon Council on Aging and Friends of Mendon Elders co-sponsored the annual Senior Tea honoring elders aged 85 and older. 

This year’s theme was sunflowers and tea, of course. Honorees and their guests were treated to a delicious assortment of finger sandwiches, tea and coffee in china teacups, strawberry punch, and peach pie.  

Council on Aging Co-Chair Earl Pearlman softly played tunes on the piano from the “Great American Song Book” while multiple conversations took place. 

Honorees were each presented with wrapped sunflowers upon their departure. As one guest said, “It was a lovely afternoon, not soon to be forgotten.”
