Solomon’s Mission in Buchanan held a Senior Valentine’s Lunch on February. One hundred fourteen senior citizens from Botetourt County came to share Valentine’s Day, along with 18 volunteers.
The guest speakers were Barbara Hill with a poem and Brad Turner who spoke about love and forgiveness. The Botetourt Sheriff’s Office Senior Connect also joined in. Keith Wood played the piano providing wonderful music. Door prizes were provided by the Botetourt Resource Center, Solomon’s Mission, and some local community donors. The meal was provided by four local churches and a variety of individual volunteers. The highlights of the day included the fun, the laughter, the community fellowship, with the whole group of voices joining in to sing “Jesus Loves Me.”
