Luncheon program
Every Tuesday at 11:30 a.m., over 50 seniors gather to have lunch together in our town hall boardroom. Participants may order the featured hot meal, listed on the calendar, or opt for a cold tuna salad plate or cold fruit plate. Orders must be placed with our office by 10:30 a.m., the day before the luncheon and the suggested donation is only $3. Some decide to bring their own lunch, which is also fine. Following the lunch, many seniors play bingo, other board games, shoot a game of pool, or simply converse with friends. Please think about joining our Tuesday family. We would love to have you. Transportation is available.
Movie of the month
On Thursday, Aug. 29, at 10:30 a.m., in the town hall courtroom there will be a showing of Billy Elliot.
This movie is rated PG13. Please sign up by Aug. 22.
