Claremont Senior Center News: Nov. 23

WOW! Did you see those white paper plate snowflakes? They were beautiful as long as they didn’t accumulate into three feet of snow. We will mention here-if there is no school, the Center will be closed also. After all we have emergency jobs such as child sitting, cookie baking, game playing and crafts. Sound familiar?

The Center will be closed on Thanksgiving, Thursday, Nov. 28. This will allow our volunteers time with family and friends. We will reopen Friday with pool, knitting, Mahjongg and good conversation about our Thanksgiving Day. We do wish you a wonderful, warm Thanksgiving. Please take pictures and save those memories.

SPECIAL NOTICE: Silver Sneakers will be moving to Tuesdays at 1 p.m. as of Dec. 3. The instructor thought this new time would better fit your schedules. All of us have very busy mornings. Please know how important exercise is to our well-being. Join us at this new time.

Menu for the week:

Tuesday, Nov. 26 — Soup, baked beans, hot dogs, cole slaw, jello. closed thanksgiving day.

Thursday, Nov. 28 — Closed on Thanksgiving Day

Sold out! Yes!. Our Turkey Dinner last Saturday was a sellout. The plates were brimming with turkey and all the fixings. We also had a large amount of take outs. We will be holding our next dinner in January. All the surviving turkeys are on vacation.

The Center is buzzing with excitement as we continue to add new programs. On Monday, Nov. 25, we will start cribbage as a group from 9-11. Several people have asked for this group. Of course, members are welcome to come anytime and play. Bring your friends.

Notice. There will be no Corn Hole on Wednesday, Nov. 27. We will resume play on Wednesday, Dec. 4.

Corn Hole is well on its way. We are having such a good time with this game. In the spring, we will move it outside to play. No lights to worry about there. However, if the sun goes out… some of us threw those beanbags a little high. We accommodate all levels. Some are learning from the pros and were surprised at how well they did. Give it a try on Wednesdays from 4-6.

Rentals are available. There are a couple of dates still available for December. Our Owens Hall is huge. It is ideal for anniversarys, wedding receptions, business and educational presentations. We have technical equipment available. Our kitchen is spacious, newly renovated and fully equipped with a caterer. Come in and talk to us about your rental needs.

Give a trial membership for a Christmas gift. The Free for a Month card will allow that person (50+) to experience our wonderful Center. After the expiration date, they will be asked if they would like to continue for $20 a year or you can do that for them too! A gift that keeps giving.

Thought for the Week: Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there.

Have a wonderful week everyone. Stay warm. Watch that Black Friday traffic and all those turkeys headed out for vacation.

Laughter and lively conversation are always welcome and encouraged at the Center. And leftover turkey jokes.

Claremont Senior Center, 5 Acer Heights Rd. Claremont, NH. (603) 543-5998. Smoke Free.
