Teens cooked, served and entertained 60 Kirkland senior citizens during the Kirkland Youth Council’s 14th Annual Holly Day Brunch at the Peter Kirk Community Center on Dec. 6.

The Youth Council hosts this annual event as one of its community service projects. The council uses money from projects during the year to pay for the supplies for the brunch.

“This event is one of the year’s highlights for both the kids and the seniors,” KYC representative Regula Schubiger said via email. “The 30 teens cooked, hosted and entertained the seniors for the night.”

The Kirkland Youth Council is a group of about 40 teens representing all the junior and senior high schools in Kirkland. In addition, it has members who attend private schools and who are home schooled.
