The MorseLife Annual Spring Luncheon, held Wednesday, February 10 at The Mar-A-Lago Club in Palm Beach, offered some canasta, bridge and mahjong "excitement"; incredible shopping for exotic handbags, jewelry, gifts, sweaters and other fineries; and a sumptuous luncheon; while providing attendees the opportunity to help support MorseLife’s mission of enhancing lives of elders of our community.

Additionally, the group provides funding for a music enhancement program and Direct TV service for all Morse Geriatric Center residents, special needs grants and in 2008, presented the nursing home with a wheelchair-accessible bus for outings.
