In 1981, when the Senior Centre
was opened, the best we could offer
for snacks was cheese and crackers
and Dad's cookies. As requests
increased for healthier food
options, so did the ingenuity and
determination to meet these nutri-
tional needs, Every Tuesday for sev-
eral years, a portable steam table,
delicious soups, sandwiches and
cheese biscuits, one food service co-
ordinator, and willing volunteers,
transformed the lounge into a wel-
come eatery, From these bare bones
beginnings, grew a whispered wish
amongst members for a cafeteria ...
a place where eating could be done

in style and comfort as well as

expand our menu (which has
already won a reputation!)

With the community members
and government support we have
realized this dream. The cafeteria is
more than most of us could have
imagined!

David Langmuir, our main chef
and Food Services Co-ordinator, has
established his culinary expertise
long before arriving at the Seniors’
Centre. David claims his love and
specialty for Italian food was devel-
oped working at Corsi Trattoria
Italian Cuisine, and Carmello's
Ristorante Italiano. It's no secret
that many of those standard soups
have been spiced up by the the time
David is finished with them and

50 years of serving the North Shore

Proud to work together with the

they are scrumptious... no wonder
we have over 100 people every
Tuesday for soup and sandwiches.

Chef David Langmuir
David will be assisted by one

Part time Food Service worker, .

Angie Opanukij, and over 100 vol-
unteers weekly. These volunteers
come with a wealth of experience:
who hasn't peeled a potato or made
a sandwich in their day! These vol-
unteers also come with so much
more than the basic food prepara-
tion skills. They make a@ lunch pro-
gram a warm, welcoming experi-
ence.

So with a classy eatery, a great
line up of food, volunteers and Food
Service staff : why don't you give us

a try.
