The annual Senior Citizens’ Christmas party hosted by Malahide Lions Club took place on Saturday 29th November in the Grand Hotel. Over 120 local senior citizens attended the event. Santa greeted each guest with a small gift as they arrived and the guests then sat down to a delicious three course lunch. After the lunch musical entertainment was provided by Derek Keyes and he had the crowd up singing and dancing. The afternoon finished with a monster raffle.

Club President Rose Minton welcomed all the guests and thanked the Grand Hotel and the hotel staff. She also thanked the Lions and their friends for all their hard work in making the event such a success.
Malahide Lions Club is grateful for all those who sponsored tables and donated raffle prizes. We would also like to thank Londis & Supervalu - Malahide, Tony Byrne Menswear, Aine McCabe, Malahide Castle & Gardens, Minister Darragh O’Brien T.D, Cllr.

The Club is also grateful to the Grand Hotel for its generous support for this event; no effort was spared from the wonderfully festive presentation of the venue to the quality of the fare. It all added up to a very enjoyable Christmas celebration for our senior citizens.
