The Public hearing for the City of Cambridge to sponsor the Department of Commerce Community Development Block Grant for the Cambridge Midvale Goodrich Senior Center is set for this Wednesday, March 4, at 7:00 p.m. This is part of the normal process for these types of Grants. It will likely be May before we hear whether the grant was approved. Let’s all keep our fingers crossed for good news.
We are so fortunate to have the City of Cambridge and council members support us in this endeavor. In fact, these grants can only be sponsored by a City or County. It’s not something that can be applied for individually. Even if we aren’t awarded this grant, I will forever be grateful to the City, Mark Loveland, Sandra McKee, and our City Council members for their support and hard work in bringing much-needed infrastructure improvements.
In case I’ve confused any of you, we are having a Pie Sale on PI day, Saturday, March 14, from 3:14 to 6:14 p.m. Order forms are available here at the center or attached to fliers around town. We are offering homemade Apple, Cheesecake, Cherry, Chocolate Cream, Lemon Meringue, or Pumpkin pies. The cost is $15 per pie. Orders must be in by Monday, March 9th. Pies can be picked up here at the center starting at 3:14 p.m. During the Sale you can purchase Pieces of Pie for $3.14 each. We will even provide the coffee or tea to go with them.
We will also have a “Pie Walk” for kids and adults. The tickets to enter the walk are $1 for kids and $2 for adults. A fun activity for you and your kids, that won’t break the bank!
On Thursday evening, March 5, from 6 to 8:00 p.m., we are playing BINGO here at the center. Everyone is welcome. Snacks will be provided.
It’s time for the menu: Friday, March 6: Dorito Pie Casserole, Salad, Dorito chips, Guacamole, Sour cream, Salsa, Mandarin Oranges, and No Bake Cookies. Wednesday, March 11: Chicken Fried Steak, Mashed Potatoes, Gravy, Beets, Salad, Wheat Rolls, Mixed Fruit, and Fresh Apple Cake. Friday, March 13: Costco, All-Beef Dogs on a bun.

Have a great week, everyone! Until next time, keep on keeping on, that’s how we get through this life.
