A Celebration of Aging, Our Annual Meeting and The Celebration of Aging
Westminster Cares honored its 90-plus year-old residents at its annual meeting November 2nd
at the Westminster Central Fire Station. There are currently eighteen
Westminster people who are 90 plus years old, including one who is 100
and one who is 101. Ten were in attendance for the event. They enjoyed
talking with townspeople and having lunch and dessert to celebrate their
birthdays. To accompany Pete Harrison's talk about each 90 + year old,
Don Dawson created a slideshow of photographs from the lives of the many
honored guests. Some were photos of their early years; many were photos
of the houses in Westminster and other towns where they lived in the
past or currently live.
The following honored guests were present, from the youngest to the oldest: Three ninety year olds; Charlotte Kurkul, Charlie Kelton and Frank Cuomo; two ninety-one year olds, Shirley Kelton and Phyllis Anderson; one 92 year old, Bob Gay; two 93 year olds, Doc Buck and Dot Perry; one 95 year old, Arlene Bates; one 101 year old, Artie Aiken.

Also included in the mix are two couples Everett and Arlene Reed and Charlie and Shirley Kelton.
As is customary during each annual meeting, officers for the coming year were elected. For 2015 the following will serve: Connie Sanderson, President; Pete Harrison, Co-Vice President; Kathy Elliot, Co-Vice President; Regina Borden, Secretary; and Miriam Lanata, Treasurer.
