21 February was Shepherd's Center-Beachside's Annual Teachers & Volunteers Appreciation Luncheon. This year Ascension Lutheran Church hosted the luncheon. Angela & Ed Romano arranged the catering of the food. Special guest, Pastor Rob White (the roving reporter), roasted Tony Armes on his birthday! Pastor Rob Cosmas, Joel Sturman, and Chuck Palmer also entertained us with their delightful and interesting background histories. Thanks to everyone for a well-attended luncheon!!!
OUR MISSION:
The purpose of Shepherd's Center-Beachside is to offer older adults a wide variety of seminars based on the peer-learning concept and designed to be intellectually stimulating in an informal and noncompetitive environment.
