Priory Rotary Harvest Lunch

On Saturday 19th October, King’s Lynn’s Priory Rotary Club treated 80 local elderly residents to their annual Harvest Lunch at the William Burt Centre on Saturday, a tradition that goes back 30 years. Guests were treated to a delicious beef stew with dumplings, carrots and mashed potatoes, followed by apple pie and cream and tea or coffee.

Catering was provided by experienced caterer and Rotarian Ann Pacini. Other Rotary members, partners and friends provided transport to and from the venue for those that needed it, and entertainment was provided by professional singer and Rotarian Rowena Senida, who sang many old favourites which the guests enthusiastically sang and danced to.

Club President John Leonard thanked all those who helped with the Harvest Lunch. He said “I had numerous positive feedbacks from people saying how much they enjoyed the meal, and how much they looked forward to the lunch as a highlight of their year. This just goes to show how much of an impact PRC can have in the local community and the joy it brings to so many.”

The Harvest Lunch is one of the many charitable activities undertaken by Priory Rotary, with significant donations given to many local charities and other good causes.
