The letter: The Senior Christmas Banquet at CSS was a huge success

Thank you to all the seniors who attended the Senior Christmas Banquet in the Great Hall of Chilliwack Secondary School on December 7th. This is our first banquet since 2019 due to COVID restrictions.

The table was beautifully decorated. A traditional turkey dinner, including all trimmings, was prepared by Chef Richard Niesen, his staff and culinary students. The students looked very professional in their black attire and did a great job feeding about 195 senior citizens.

Thanks to the student pianist who entertained us before the food was served.

Host Al Ricard acknowledged former chef George Reese, who started Lunch/Banquet with Alice Anderson 40 years ago. Bill McLean congratulated the meal. Chef Richard thanked everyone who attended and gave a special thank you to the staff and students.

Frozen soups and appetizers were sold at the end of the night.

From the Banquet Committee: Thelma Schwandt, Al Ricardo, Karen and Wally Klassen
