KINGWOOD TOWNSHIP, N.J. (Hunterdon County) — Commissioner Susan J. Soloway and County Clerk Mary Melfi joined area seniors Dec. 17 for the annual Senior Center Holiday Luncheon at Razberry’s Banquet Hall, where about 140 residents gathered to celebrate the season.
The event, sponsored by the Hunterdon County Senior Center, featured a holiday meal and live entertainment by Nancy and Jaime DeJesus, whose performance of seasonal favorites encouraged dancing and conversation among attendees.
