Claremont Senior Center News: Nov. 30

We hope all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with friends and family. We also hope no one is still gobbling or strutting around the house. There will be hints still around that the turkey was here. Such as turkey casserole, turkey ala king, turkey tacos, turkey soup. Anyone having turkey for Christmas?

Correction: We heard there was some confusion about the Center closings. So, lets see if we can clear it up. When the weather is lousy and the schools are closed, the Center will be closed. We do not close for school vacations, holidays or teacher meeting days. Hope this clears it up.

Menu for the week (No turkey):

Tuesday, Dec. 3 — Soup, hamburgers with lettuce, tomato and onion, french fries and jello.

Thursday, Dec. 5 — Chicken fricassee with dumplings and chocolate parfait.

We are having turkey for Christmas! On Thursday, Dec. 19, we will be having a Turkey Dinner with all the fixings. This will be served at 11:45 a.m. It is open to the public. The cost is $10. You must sign up if you wish to attend this dinner. Call 603-543-3998. We hope to see you there!

Special Notice: Don’t forget that Silver Sneakers has moved to Tuesdays at 1 p.m. Note the new time.

Quick Takes: Foot Clinic will be on Dec. 5, Dec. 11 and Dec. 18. Blood Pressure will be on Dec. 5 at 10:30 a.m. and Dec. 19 from 11 a.m. to noon.

We have a couple of new programs going and one on the way. So far, Cribbage is being played on Mondays from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. Corn Hole is played on Wednesdays from 4 p.m. until we get tired! Both are fun and of different types of exercise.

Our Wednesday Senior Bingo has quite the friendly group attending and is very welcoming.

This makes for a very nice afternoon. Come early, eat a wonderful lunch, then play, laugh and relax. Sheets are sold until 12:45 p.m. with games starting at 1 p.m. Remember, you have to be 50+ to play. Join us.

We are busy getting our trip survey ready for the January Newsletter. Fill out the insert and return it to the Center. We know you will take this chance to tell us where you would like to go. We will see what we can do to grant your wishes.

Don’t forget those trial memberships for Christmas! Or purchase a full membership for them.

Great stocking stuffer.

Thought for the Week: For every moment you are angry, you lose 60 seconds of happiness.

Have a good week everyone, Remember, we have exercise programs to work off that extra 5 pounds before Christmas. Stay warm.

Laughter and lively conversation always welcome here. And you can get away from that chore list for a while.
