The spirit of “The Rose of Tralee” filled the Rose Baker Senior Center on Thursday for a packed St. Patrick’s Day Party and lunch in the shamrock and green-balloon festooned Great Room.
“We are going to have some fun today. The Open Door (food pantry) as usual has hooked us up with a great lunch,” said Elder Services Director Elise Sinagra to the dozens in attendance, in a video shared on Mayor Greg Verga’s Facebook page from the Rose Baker Senior Center.
“We have incredible musicians here, thank you so much … thank you guys for being here. And, yeah, let’s have some fun. Happy St. Patrick’s Day.”
“Hope everyone had a good time — thank you for having me!” Verga said on Facebook.
A video clip of the mayor had him paying homage to Gloucester’s St. Peter’s Fiesta when he joked: “Viva St. Patrick!”
“It was smiles for miles and a sea of green at the Rose Baker Senior Center today!” the center posted, crediting Michael O’Leary, Bob and Jen Strom, and Cindy McIntire for providing traditional Irish music for the ceilidh (pronounced kay-lee) which is Gaelic for a gathering of folk music, dance and storytelling.
