Saturday, Dec. 10 — CHESTER —The Chester-Andover senior dinner will be held this year on Dec. 10 at noon at the Green Mountain Union High School, Route 103 in Chester. This is the 45th annual dinner and everyone is very excited to hold it in person after two years of delivered takeout meals in collaboration with Everyone Eats.
The senior dinner was started 45 years ago by a small group of community members concerned that seniors should enjoy the camaraderie of others while having a proper Christmas dinner. The senior dinner has been held at the Congregational Church, Green Mountain Union High School,, and more recently, Chester-Andover Elementary School. This year the dinner will return to the high school.
The meal is always free since it serves as a thank you to the senior citizens of Chester and Andover for all they have given the community over the years.
This year there is a collaboration with GMUHS and the Chester-Andover Family Center to provide the venue, volunteers, and supplies. Feeding 200 plus people, however, is a big task and they could use your help.
If you would like to volunteer, contact Pat at 802-376-6643.
Donations may be dropped off at Motel in the Meadow at 936 Vt Route 11W, Chester. Checks should be made out to Pat Budnick. Please write Chester-Andover Senior Dinner on the memo line.
As always, it will be very helpful to know how many guests to expect so GMUHS and the Chester-Andover Family Center can prepare enough food for everyone. Please call Pat at 802-376-6643 to RSVP.
