Each quarter, the Murph Senior Center hosts a group birthday party for its members who have celebrated their birthdays within the previous three months. On Tuesday, July 30th, the honorees and their guests met at the Laurel Train Depot from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. to enjoy music, dancing, a stroll down the red carpet, and refreshments.
Honorees included Miranda Beard (April 12), Delores Banks (April 11), Elizabeth Barnes (June 25), Ruby Graves (April 1), Deborah Ramsey (April 13), and Tina Black (May 23rd).
They also paid special recognition to Ms. Lora Hinton who celebrated her 92nd birthday on July 31st.
“Happy Birthday,” Laurel Mayor Johnny Magee told the group. “Even though it’s not today. We’re glad that the City of Laurel is able to support this program and thankful for Ms. Lula Cooley. She loves doing it and we love her for doing it.”
The next quarterly birthday party is scheduled for September. More information about the Murph Senior Center and its many programs for seniors can be obtained by calling Murph Senior Center Director Lula Cooley at 601.438.0824.
