Project SNOW Helps Senior Citizens At Dinner Event

Canton, MASS - On November 8, Project SNOW (Safeguarding Neighborhoods Over Winter) visited Senior Center in Canton to assist the staff and the senior citizens at the “Magic and Dinner” event organized by the Canton Council on Aging. Diane Tynan, director of Canton Council on Aging and Robin Tobin, Outreach Worker of Canton Council on Aging invited the Project SNOW to the event to learn about the senior citizen activities first hand, interact with them and understand their issues during the winter season.

Team members participated in the magic show and helped serve dinner. “The magic show was cool, but helping those seniors was even better,” says Pranav Addanki, a 5th grader at the J.F.K.

Magic was performed by Jack Ryan, a professional magician and past president of the Society of American magicians which was founded by Harry Houdini. His show was classy and tasteful, a great combination of sophisticated magic, ESP, humor and audience participation. Then the seniors enjoyed a delicious dinner of Roasted Apple Brandy Chicken, Tossed Salad, Mashed Potato, Roasted Vegetable Medley, Dessert and Coffee, provided by Peppercorn’s.

Project SNOW team members were responsible for setting up the venue for the event and serving food for the attendees. They were able to connect with the senior citizens, learning about their livelihoods and interests, as well as sharing their project’s goals and plans.

Project SNOW is a community problem solving project dedicated to helping the community safeguard its neighborhoods over winter. The team works to raise awareness for the cause, educate the community about the dangers of winter, and identify potential threats to the well-being of the community during the winter.
