There was an abundance of love, friendship and good food at the recent Valentine’s Day party hosted by West Deer Center in the Country, located in Allison Park. Attendees donned their best red and pink apparel and came to the center on February 13 to celebrate the holiday and spend time together.
Everyone was treated to a delicious lunch before having time to socialize and play bingo.
“I had the best time ever,” said center member Beatrice Porter. “Such a wonderful group of people. I enjoy West Deer.”
“These parties are so much fun!” echoed Barbara Thompson. “Super food, people and conversations! What more could you ask for?”
The center’s other recent events have included a New Year’s Eve gala, a Christmas party with festive music and a visit from Santa, a Halloween costume party with sweet treats and participation in an annual community health fair at West Deer VFD #1 in Tarentum.
