Delegate John Overington presented his "Winners vs. Losers . . . Be A Winner Award" to the Martinsburg Senior Kitchen Band on May 22, 1998 at the Senior Center in Martinsburg.
In the 22 years that the Kitchen Band has performed, much time and energy have been contributed to the community and surrounding areas.
The 22 ladies who make up the band regard themselves as best friends and one big family. They play their music for nursing homes, churches, picnics, birthday parties, grade schools, health fairs, the Bike-A-Thon, and have even traveled to Washington, D.C.
They have also been on television and radio. Any money donated for a performance goes back into the community for a worthy cause.
