Seniors Observe Easter at Miccosukee Reservation
By Alexandra FrankTAMIAMI TRAIL - On Mar. 13, seniors from the Seminole Tribe came from four reservations to get a jump start on Easter festivities at an event hosted by the Miccosukee Tribe. The event, held at the gymnasium, featured an Easter motif throughout the building. The seniors were treated to door prizes and bingo games.
Of course, there was the "Easter Egg Hunt," which tested a person’s sight and speed in order to collect the most eggs so that the one with highest number of eggs would win a cash prize.
President/Acting Chairman Mitchell Cypress made an appearance to event and made the rounds to visit with the elders to talk and take photos with them.
After the "Easter Egg Hunt" and bingo games were finished, it was time for lunch and believe me everyone was ready to partake of the carefully catered lunch of ham, stew beef and rice, corn, yams, and salad.
Of course, there were scrumptious deserts, such as a sheet cake with a holiday theme, and pies if you didn’t like cakes. Everyone seemed to enjoy the spread and even took some of the delicious food home for later.
The seniors seemed to enjoy the event and it showed on their smiling faces. A special thanks went out to the Hot Meals Staff, the caterer and the wait staff who were ready to serve the needs of the seniors and any other visitors to the event.
And as Mitchell Cypress expressed with a few words to the seniors, it is events like this one that everyone should partake in so that they can get together with other seniors and share good times and enjoy each other’s company.
Here the top three winners of the Easter Egg Hunt: 1st Place - Angelita Estrada, 2nd Place - Mary Kelly, and 3rd Place - Louise Motlow. Maggie Osceola of Hollywood won the Grand Door Prize that consisted of a beautiful white satin patchwork jacket.
There are many more events planned for the upcoming months, so look at your notice board at the Hot Meals building for future events.
