The 51st annual Senior Citizen Banquet was held on Nov. 28 at the Fleetwood Grange Hall. The banquet is held each year and is to honor to senior citizens for their lifetime contributions they have made to our community. The event is cosponsored by the Fleetwood Lions Club and the Fleetwood Grange.
Attendees were treated to a family style ham dinner and musical entertainment by Carl Gruber. The members of the Fleetwood Grange prepared the meal, and it was served by members of the Eastern Berks 4-H Dairy Club.
Attendees honored were the couple married the longest, Harold and Madeline Althouse, who have been married for 64 years; the oldest woman, Ella Richard, 96 years old; and the oldest man, Norman Reed, who is 94 years old.
