Centenarian luncheons to be held in May

Posted

Council on Aging (COA) will honor St. Johns County centenarians and nonagenarians at two centenarian luncheons, scheduled for noon May 4 at River House, 179 Marine St., St Augustine, and 11:30 a.m. May 18 at THE PLAYERS Community Senior Center, 175 Landrum Lane, Ponte Vedra Beach.

If you or a loved one will be turning age 95 or better this year, contact Council on Aging to register to participate in the celebration nearest to you.

“Please help us get the word out to all of our cherished elders in the community who are age 95 and up,” requested COA Executive Director Becky Yanni. “Council on Aging relies upon members of the community to help us invite all those eligible to attend.”

Advance registration is required as space is limited. Each honoree is invited to bring one complimentary guest to the luncheon. Tickets for additional guests may be purchased if space is available.

“We are thrilled to be able to be able to host these very special events,” Yanni said. “The entire community looks forward to the chance to recognize our St. Johns County elders and honor their exceptional lives.”

Sponsors are needed to finance the events. Table sponsorships are available for a donation of $250 and include table recognition and one seat to attend the centenarian luncheon of your choice.

To register to attend or to become a sponsor, contact COA’s Sheri Brideson at 904-209-3700 or sbrideson@coasjc.org.

The RSVP deadline for the May 4 River House event in St. Augustine is April 20. The RSVP deadline for the May 18 Ponte Vedra Beach event is May 4.
