Recently, we attended the Saskatchewan Senior’s Mechanism “Celebrating Seniors” gala at the Delta hotel in downtown, Regina. As expected, most of the attendees were over 65 years of age.
Far from being a languid affair, the atmosphere was crackling with youthful energy.
Many of the stories told were inspirational in nature. None more so than the tale of Antoinette Simard, winner of the “Centenarian Volunteer Award”.
Antoinette just celebrated her 100th birthday, but you’d be hard pressed to believe it. Displaying the vigour of a person one third of her age, Antoinette is still out there, volunteering her time and making a difference in her community - Wow!
I love stories like this. Do you know of similar ones? I’d love to hear your comments.
