Pitman Manor couples treated to a special Valentine's dinner.
PITMAN -- The Community Life Department at Pitman Manor wanted Valentine's Day to be extra special for the married couples who live there. Jessica Hepner, along with volunteers, Cindy Kern, Sandy Landwher and Theresa Romeo organized a homemade dinner. The married couples' combined years of marriage equaled 864 years.

The auditorium was decorated with colorful table cloths and flowers while the couples had an opportunity to dine on salad, New England Clam chowder, fresh baked bread, and chicken parmigiana which was provided by Pitman Manor's Dietary Team. For dessert a homemade Italian Love Cake was served. The occasion was toasted with sparking apple cider.
The Community Life Department routinely organizes luncheons in honor of special occasions or to celebrate a particular group like former nurses, teachers or veterans. In addition to the dinner, each couple was sent home with a chocolate treat.
