Claremont Senior Center News: June 20, 2020

Welcome, welcome, welcome back! We hope everyone is ready for the soft reopening of the Center. We know we are. It has been too long and we are more than ready!

The first day will be Tuesday, June 22, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.Woohoo! Game night is back. So get those pool cues rosined up and the cards all shuffled. Or come and knit and watch TV.

Don’t forget to choose those puzzles and books to take home. We will welcome you anytime on Tuesday. Stay a while and talk in the conversation area. It will be a pleasure to here laughter and talk in that area. Masks are strongly urged.

The next day will be Friday, June 26 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. We will be knitting and showing off all the projects you made during the “stay home” and playing Mahjong with the new cards-finally. Or anything you wish to do. The puzzle is needing some attention and the conversation area is always ready for some good gossip. We imagine there is a lot to share. Masks are strongly urged.

We want to thank all the patrons who have come to pick up lunches during this time. The lunches will continue through June. Then we will decide what to do next.
