The Officers’ Spouses’ Club at Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort has been celebrating the holidays by hosting the Senior Citizens’ Tea since 1968, and this year’s 51st edition of the tradition was enjoyed by dozens of local seniors on Sunday, many currently living in local nursing or assisted living facilities.
Attendees were each escorted inside by Marines in their dress blues, and everyone enjoyed lots of holiday cheer including, of course, tea, as well as food, desserts and holiday performances that were heavy on providing lots of Christmas spirit.
Organizers with the Officer’ Spouses Club at MCAS Beaufort plan the Senior Tea event every year as a special way of thanking the local community for their long-standing support of the Beaufort, SC Military Tri-Command, and to celebrate our local senior citizens…who are considered to be our Country’s greatest generation.
