The Town of Newburgh Seniors enthusiastically looked forward to celebrating St. Patrick’s Day, and what a great day it was to join friends at the Aqua Turf in Plantsville, CT. Entertainment by elite Irish dancers and a spirited fantastic Irish band had the seniors tapping their happy dancing feet amidst big smiles galore. Everyone agreed the traditional corned beef and cabbage lunch was the best as were the delicious desserts that followed. No wonder everybody believes he’s Irish on St. Paddy’s Day.
March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb, or maybe a snowman depending on where you live. On St. Patrick’s Day, March 17, Birthday Girl Jeannine Rogers might be enjoying a spring snowstorm, or maybe a delightful gift of seventy degrees and sunshine galore.
Jeannine brings friendship and laughter to everyone she knows with her loyal heart, and she is an inspiration and a joy to us who are blessed to be called a friend.
