Mannville Comes Together For A Heartwarming Community Appreciation Supper

On the evening of December 22, the Mannville community came together for a memorable event at the Elks Lodge #395. The Community Appreciation Supper, jointly hosted by the Elks Lodge #395, Elks Royal Purple, Mannville Multi 4-H Club, and the Mannville Chamber of Commerce, brought warmth and connection to the town’s residents during the holiday season.

Previously known as the “Widow and Widowers/Blue Christmas” event, this newly reimagined gathering offered a more inclusive celebration, aptly named “Appreciation Supper 2.0.” It provided a space for neighbours and friends to connect, reflect, and celebrate the spirit of the season.

The supper was free of charge and featured a delectable menu including beef on a bun, an array of fresh salads, decadent desserts, and refreshments such as tea, coffee, juice, and adult beverages. The generosity and camaraderie of the organizing groups ensured the 150 attendees enjoyed a relaxed and joyful evening.

Local businesses played an integral role in the success of the event, providing support that left organizers and participants overwhelmed with gratitude. Jim Storch, one of the organizers remarked, “A huge thanks goes out to the local businesses that supported our Appreciation Supper 2.0. We got rave reviews and look forward to our next one in 2025.”

This evening of connection and community spirit is sure to be remembered fondly by all who attended. Events like these show the heart and dedication
