The Sages Senior Holiday dinner was served outdoors at the Topanga Community Center on Sunday, December 5. Still observing pandemic precautions of required vaccinations and wearing masks when not at the table, did nothing to dampen the joy of being together.

Eight volunteer servers served the turkey feast with all the trimmings at the holiday buffet.
A short program included Linda Hinrichs telling a quiet tale of navigating the challenging times we’re in and Susan Clark offering a solemn remembrance for those who have passed away.
Karen Dannenbaum organized much of the event and a raffle. Toni Colvin won the grand raffle prize, a $100 gift card to Trader Joe’s and donated it to a friend who’s fallen on hard times.
