Seniors' Community Luncheon 30 Jan 2007
with Magician Blair Marshall
Posted Jan 30, 2007

On Tuesday, 30 January 2007, a cold but sunny day, some forty seniors from Summerlea and the surrounding community filled St. Andrew's Hall to enjoy lunch, meet some other folks and, on this day, be entertained by Lachine magician Blair Marshall, a member of the Summerlea congregation. Following are a few photos of the proceedings (pickable to see a larger version).

In opening the event, Summerlea's minister, Howard Clark, mentioned the suggestion and donation boxes at the entry door. He noted that there will be a lenten luncheon series at St. Paul's Anglican church on Tuesdays during lent. Therefore the next Summerlea senior luncheon will be held Tuesday, April 24. Here are some shots of folks enjoying the lunch of soup, sandwiches, fruit, and tea or coffee.

As folks enjoyed their tea or coffee, Howard introduced Howard Young, a relative of Irene Turner visiting from New Brunswick, who enjoyed tinkling the ivories. So he played some golden oldies as a warm-up for Blair Marshall.

Then it was time for magic, illusions and sleight of hand presented by Blair Marshall. (The folks in the background are in the Last Supper tapestry on the wall.)

Audience participation is a Blair stock-in-trade. Here he pulled some sleight of hand as he remarked on the (non-existant) snow falling outside. Gets us every time.

Three members of the audience picked numbers secretly, but Blair figured them out.

Lord of the Rings - starts with six separate and ends with six entwined. How does he do that?

Many thanks to Blair and to the folks who prepared, set up, served and cleaned up. We hope to see you again April 24.
