Simple, But Elegant? Not so much!

On our last post I said we'd be making the simple but elegant leaf bowl at our Snacks & Crafts session in October.  Well!  One should never demonstrate something without trying it first.  What a mess it made-I blew up the balloon, covered it with mod-podge, which proceeded to drip all over me, started sticking leaves on it and they slid all over. I couldn't get them to stick down or stick to each other. All I thought was, "I can't ask my seniors to do this!" so at 9:30 Sunday night I dug out my washi tape and some old tin cans and brought them in for the class. 6 of us covered tins with colored and patterned tape.


Cookies and tea were served, and we all had a great time making our pencil cups.

Art is in the eye of the beholder!

Come and join us on November 17th, when we will be making beeswax candles and/or holiday cards!

Snacks & Crafts at the Senior Center

We have a new program at the Senior Center! Snacks & Crafts one Monday a month. October 20th class will feature leaf bowls. Come and learn how to make this simple but elegant bowl to display fall treats in or to give away as a gift. On November 20th, we will be making our own unique and original Holiday cards. Come and join us for this FREE class. Bring your ideas for future classes. 12:30 at the meal site.

This month, our Bread and Soup program was very popular. We served Broccoli Cheddar soup with bread from Bread Euphoria and Cake for dessert. Look in November's Newsletter (coming out by 11/1) for the soup of the month-rumor has it that it may be Butternut Squash Bisque!  

Come on down to the Williamsburg Senior Center, Where it is all happening!

August! Can you believe it?

Here at the Senior Center, we have been serving Bread & Salad meals every Monday throughout the summer. These meals have been very popular, as we make the food that morning and it is fresh and, in many cases, local food. We have had a great variety and have served as many as 45 people. Some eat in and some get their meals to go or to be delivered.

We have Bread and Salad three more times in August. Call us by Thursday If you would like to sign up for this lunch on Mondays at 11:45. We usually have a green salad and a side salad, plus Bread Euphoria bread and a dessert for only $2.00!

In September, we will go back to monthly Bread & Soup meals. The first one will be September 8th.

You can also eat congregate lunches here Tuesday-Thursday. Meals from Highland Valley Elder Services are delivered hot! Let us know if you'd like to join us!

If you come to any of our meals you will now be able to have wonderful free-trade coffee from Elbow Room Coffee in Williamsburg! Thanks to Melissa Krueger for donating this delicious coffee to our Senior Center!

AND!

Look for the September Newsletter! We are revving up the staff to get out a newsletter to ALL seniors in Haydenville and Williamsburg. (we usually send to about 200 seniors.) We hope to reach people who have not taken advantage of our services in the past. We will ask that interested people sign up for the monthly newsletter and other services. If you haven't yet, Come on down to the Senior Center, where it is all happening!

Enjoy the rest of your summer!

Hi Folks,

Spring has Sprung! The Senior Center has been spiffed up with fresh new paints in pretty greens, just in time for Spring!

Please come to the Senior Center, Tuesday, May 6th at 12:15, for musical entertainment by Lindsey Trombley!  (Some of you may know Lindsey, she is Doris Delisle's daughter.)  She will be bringing her karaoke setup after lunch. Come down or stay after lunch and sing along! A great variety of songs will be sung. Lets welcome Lindsey!

Monday's Bread & Soup was a great success. Fresh pea soup didn't appeal to everyone, but they were surprised, and all raved at the fresh light soup. Next month we will have a tomato basil soup. It should be equally appealing! Consider coming on May 19th for that!

See you soon at the Senior Center!

Bread & Soup! Walking Group!

Bread and Soup will be served on Monday, Jan 27th--HEARTY VEGETABLE this month!  Bread Euphoria donated bread and a fresh dessert.  Where else can you get all this for $1?  Come on by at 11:45 or pick up some meals to go! ($2)

Are YOU interested in a Walking Group? Walking is such a basic exercise, and when we sit too long it gets harder and harder to walk.  Let's keep our health as long as possible!  Sherry is hoping to get a group of people who would like to take a weekly walk in the neighborhood or a Mall Walk when the weather is unpleasant. You set the pace-everyone can join. Call us!  268-8407.
