Last Friday, the Edgartown patrolmen’s association sponsored its annual senior fall feast, a sumptuous dinner offered free to all Edgartown seniors. The overflow crowd of Edgartown elders was thrilled with the menu extraordinaire of tenderloin, crab cakes, green beans and pumpkin pie.

The prevailing sentiment was most accurately expressed by Jean and Dave Brennan — it’s so nice to be a senior in Edgartown. The fall feast was excellent and such a treat. The service was good too! Our dedicated police staff and sponsorship by the patrolmen’s association deserve a great big thank you. Please let them know we appreciated their good will.

Organized by officer Will Bishop and hosted at the fire department, rave reviews went to the cook, officer Michael Gazaille and his helpers, administrative assistant Tracy Giacomini and officers Will Bishop and Stephanie Immelt.

Brenden Cooney and Chuck Cummens, paramedics with the fire department, talked about the importance of completing File of Life cards and keeping one in your wallet and one on your refrigerator with up-to-date information. Island Food Products, Vineyard Propane, Packer Fuel, Dairy Queen, and Donaroma’s Nursery were recognized for their donations and support.

Jean Brennan said it best: please let them know we appreciated their delicious food, generosity and good will.
