The festivities continued on Monday, with Pius X Aboriginal Corporation's annual morning tea and bingo.
About 60 people, including Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal seniors and their carers, enjoyed a delicious morning tea and a game of bingo in the Pius Hall.
There were some great meat trays and fruit platters to be won.
"Thank you to the Greenbah Store and Reado's Meats, they did a nice job on the trays and put a little bit more effort into them for us," Pius X Aboriginal health worker Cherie Piening said.
"Also thank you to Colleen Duke for helping set up this morning."
Seniors Week will continue with a morning tea at 10.30am on Tuesday, April 2 at Moree Community Library, where seniors will have the opportunity to decorate a frame for a photo of a loved one. They will also decorate cupcakes for morning tea.
