Seniors love 'old-time dancing' at St Mary's Hall
WARWICK seniors kicked off their eventful week with an annual swing and jive sing-a-long at St Mary's hall.
Community options program assistant coordinator for social events Donna McCormick said it was important to help the seniors socialise.
"It was to get people out of their house for a bit of fun with some old time dancing," she said.
"We have professional dancers who have come out of the goodness of their hearts to dance with our seniors."
Foodworks donated fruit and vegetables for the raffles on the day.

Many of the seniors said they had a busy month of events ahead of them.
Eunice Box attended the day and said she enjoyed her morning.
"It's my first time and I'm enjoying myself," she said.
"It's so beautifully decorated and I hope they continue to look after our seniors.
"I'm very, very busy this month with all the events that are on."
Swan Creek dancer Anneliese Mickan said she was happy to be mingling and dancing with the seniors.
She was glad to see their happy faces and said it made them feel young again.
