I’m not sure I will ever get used to winter without snow in the Upper Country, but this year certainly seems to be the exception to what I’ve experienced for the past 26 years. Yes, I’m a transplant! So, my experience with local weather patterns is extremely limited.
I miss the snow. I like its beauty, how it covers up the unsightly and insulates the noise from the highway. It’s a peaceful time of year when most of life is at rest. Except for us humans, of course. It seems as if we are always busy with one thing or another.
We here at the senior center were certainly busy last night at our Baked Potato Bar Fundraiser. We served almost 50 people, some who show up all the time, some new to us, and some old members who come whenever we have a fundraiser. I enjoyed seeing all of your wonderful faces. We are thankful for your support.
The backbone of any group is our Volunteers. Without them, we most likely wouldn’t exist. I want to thank the members who volunteered their time and energy to help at our Potato Bar. They are in no particular order: Dana Munden, Lola Hartnoll, Sandy Nudo, Rex Hall, Charlie Caruso, and Dale and Sandi Barton. Thank you for all that you did for our Baked Potato Bar Fundraiser!
With the help of Jean and David Fant, I finished the membership packets. They will be available for pickup this Wednesday, January 21st. Those that aren’t picked up by Wednesday, January 28th, will be mailed. We are trying to conserve on postage. You can, too, if you hand-deliver the forms back to me here at the Senior Center. Or if that’s not convenient, you can mail them back. I would like to wrap up membership by the end of February, if possible.
Menu: Friday, January 23rd: Pizza: Chicken Alfredo, Hawaiian, Combination, or Sausage, Pepperoni, and Mushroom. Salad, Peaches, and Banana Bars. Wednesday, January 28th: Oven Fried Chicken, Mashed Potatoes and Chicken Gravy, Coleslaw, Corn, Wheat Roll, and Sunshine Upside Down cake. Friday, January 30th: Clam Chowder, Turkey Sandwich, Salad, Mandarin Oranges, and dessert.
Have a great week, everyone!
