"We celebrated our lovely Gwen's 98th birthday and were entertained by our Angie with sing-along dancing songs. There was so much happiness in the room.
"A very big thank you to Angie and Rog who volunteered their time to entertain us and to Julia from Stifford Clays Working Mens Club who let Re-engagey have the hall for free.
"Last but not least a very bigThank you to our wonderful, dedicated, caring volunteers who without them driving guests to these events they would not be possible. How wonderful it is to be back enjoying the loveliness of these tea parties seeing so many happy, smiling faces and everyone went home with a lovely Lindt chocolate bunny donated by one of our volunteer's husband."
