BP Diaz Hosts Centenarian Luncheon to Start Bronx Week



 

    Bronx Borough President welcomed the 42 people in the room last Thursday at Villa Barone who have had their 100th birthday or more. The oldest person in the room was 108. There were several others who were 98 or 99 years old also in the audience. BP Diaz's Director of Senior Services Ms. Larcenia Walton is at his side holding all the Citations with the names and ages of the Centenarians.
