The ABCD North End/West End Neighborhood Service Center (NE/WE NSC) held its Valentine Party on Friday, February 26th, due to snow earlier in the month. Nearly 4 dozen members community, almost all of them seniors from the neighborhoods, came to the center at 1 Michelangelo Street in the North End to enjoy fish, chicken and potatoes, cake, and coffee.
The NE/WE NSC is a grateful recipient of surplus perishables from Whole Foods Market and the Boston Public Market, which Lovin’ Spoonfuls brings to the center twice a week. The NE/WE NSC delights in taking full advantage of this lovely produce and making sure that the seniors eat their greens!
Special guests included State Representative Aaron Michelwitz and his aide Patrick Lyons who visited with Valentine greetings and roses! Rosemary McAuliffe donated chocolates that all enjoyed. Maria Stella Gulla, Director, addressed the crowd to thank them for their presence and to remind them, “This is a day to celebrate love and the love we have for one another and our families and friends.” Volunteers from Babson College-Alpha Epsilon Pi – Sam Doliner, Chaz Hermanoski,Inder Majumdar, and Billy Stetson-came to assist with the serving and the meal and clean-up and also to prep the center for an upcoming floor renovation in the drop-in center. The NE/WE NSC thanks them profoundly for their help and hopes that they come again!
