The April Elders Luncheon featured an Easter theme on a sunny Friday afternoon at the House of Respect on April 18.
The Easter Bunny, who was accompanied by Elder Wellness Center Executive Director Vernetta Miller, made its way around the facility, visiting the majority of the tables during the luncheon.
The lunch feast included a baked honey mustard glazed ham, roast pork loin, braised beef, scalloped potatoes, wheat rolls, salad and fresh fruit. The dessert was a chocolate cupcake with a chocolate dipped strawberry.
April’s Honored Elders were Frank Wright and Illa Wright. Frank was blanketed by Chairman Bill Sterud and Councilman Fred Dillon. Illa was blanketed by Vice Chairwoman Sylvia Miller and Councilwoman Annette Bryan.
Throughout the festivities, entertainment was provided by Longview resident Raeann Phillips, who has been a singer/songwriter for the past 20 years. Cash prizes were distributed to Tribal Members during the monthly raffle toward the end of the luncheon.
