Young voices raised in song greeted seniors from all over the city this morning as they gathered for the 35th annual Cable Car Senior Holiday Luncheon. This festive tradition is hosted by the operators of the Cable Car Division and the Transport Workers, Local 250-A. SFMTA staff help with coordination and, of course, serving the guests.

The seated banquet for nearly 200 also included a drawing for multiple donated prizes.
