Claremont Senior Center News: July 11, 2020

The Claremont Senior Center Board has voted to adopt a mandatory mask policy. Masks will be worn upon entering the Center until leaving. On Game Night, those not wishing to wear masks will have a separate room to play. A mask must be worn when leaving that room for restrooms or any other reason. Those who wish wear a mask and play in the unmasked room may do so. Distancing is also recommended. We thank you for your cooperation and patience on the matter.

The concert with the Firehouse Six for Saturday, July 11, has been canceled due to inclement weather. But we have rescheduled this great group for Saturday, July 18. We will catch you then.

On the happy side, the kitchen volunteers have done it again. This week’s menu is fabulous. Here are the offerings for Tuesday and Thursday:

Menu for the week:
