The annual BCYF Condon St. Patrick’s Senior Luncheon went off as planned last weekend and can be summed up in one word – Fun. Nearly a hundred area senior citizens, many sporting festive green wigs, sunglasses and light up earrings were treated to fantastic food from Alfredo’s Restaurant and Catering, some good music and dancing and lots of great company. Gift cards from Target and other valuable prizes were given out to attendees, as well.
This is an event that draws local elected officials and other dignitaries, who want to be part of the celebration and mingle with residents and get in on the party too. Among the officials who showed up were Boston City Councilors Mike Flaherty, Annissa Essaibi George, Council President Michele Wu, State Rep Nick Collins and Boston Police Area C Captain Mylet. Joining them were Community Service Officer Jake Manning, PAL Director Bill Stoddard, Mark McGonagle, Ed Flynn and Father Sousa from St. Vincent Church.
Enjoying themselves just as much as the large crowd of seniors on hand were members of the hard working BCYF Staff. Included were Bill Ryan from the Leadership Team, Regional Supervisor 
Cherie Cope and Condon Supervisor Barbara Kelly. All of them combined to set up and serve food and make sure that everyone was enjoying themselves.
Administrative Coordinator Joe Curran couldn’t have been more pleased with how everything turned out stating “Our Saint Patrick’s Day Luncheon is one of the Condon’s favorite events of the year – a very special 
time for our seniors. It was a lovely day had 
by all.” And that 
it certainly 
was.
