Seniors Celebrate the Holidays with Orland Township

The Township’s Holiday Luncheon attracted well over 350 guests. 

Over 350 guests attended a very festive luncheon on Tuesday, Dec. 14 at Silver Lake Country Club, located at 14700 S. 82nd Ave. in Orland Park, to celebrate the Holiday season and enjoy an afternoon full of good food, socializing, and fun entertainment.

The lunch, which included cream of chicken soup, sautéed chicken picante, mashed potatoes, green beans almandine, and peppermint ice cream for dessert along with coffee and iced tea, was just enough to get everyone into the holiday spirit! Before the day ended, the very talented Mary Pfeiffer entertained the crowd with her vocal styles of Patsy Cline.

“I’m pleased to hear that all of our seniors had a great time at this years Holiday Luncheon,” said Supervisor O’Grady. “As the Holiday season slowly comes to an end, we want to make sure that we have the chance to celebrate with everybody one last time!”

For more information on programs, services, and events being held at Orland Township, visit the website, orlandtownship.org, or call (708) 403-4222. Be sure to like the Orland Township Facebook page for more updates.
