RAF MILDENHALL, England -- More than 100 senior citizens from the local community were treated to a Christmas meal, bingo games and presents from Santa Dec. 5 at the Galaxy Club.

For the 26th year, the Top Three Fellowship hosted and funded the event, with donations provided by AAFES and the Forest Heath District Council.

Residents from four senior citizens' homes - Lamb Court, Milden Court, St. Mary's Close and St. Catherine's Close - along with local clubs, West Row Friendship Club, Beck Row Thursday Club, Beck Row Chapel, and Mildenhall Royal British Legion, attended the event.

Top 3 members at each table acted as escorts and put on bingo games as entertainment, and Santa, along with two helpers, gave presents to each of the guests.
