Claremont Senior Center News: November 27, 2021

Hi everyone. I hope that everyone have a wonderful thanksgiving. Did you get to visit with friends and family. The days are colder, gets dark much earlier and snow is just around the corner. We are open every Monday thru Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. We are also open Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. As many of us do not like having to drive in the dark, a new game afternoon has started on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.

We have many activities. There are sign-up sheets at the reception desk and the calendar in the lobby. Activities can be done anytime, including pool, knitting, hand and foot, mahjong, corn hole, and quilting. Socializing is always an option.

For the Foot Clinic, you must call 603-748-1731 to make an appointment with them. The fee is $25.

We are still holding our drive-thru meals on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Here are the menu for next week:

Tuesday, Nov. 30Salad, American chop suey, garlic bread, and dessert.

Thursday, Dec. 2Soup, Tourtiere (pork pie), vegetable, and cake.

You must call 603-543-5998 by 10:30 a.m. to reserve your meal. Members $4, non-members $5. Drive-thru pickup is from 11:45 a.m. to 12:15 pm. Meals are always subject to change.

Have you seen our first annual Claremont Senior Center Car Show Calendar for 2022? It features winners of this year’s 2021 car show with each month featuring a picture of a different class winning vehicle. Only $12 when picked up at the center, add $6 shipping and handling for each calendar if we mail to you. Makes a great gift or get one for yourself.

We are making plans to hold a Wild Game Supper on Feb. 19. We would appreciate donations of deer and bear meat. Last year’s harvest is fine if you are making space in your freezer. Please contact Lloyd Mann at 603-542-5774 to arrange donations.

New policy at the Claremont Senior Center. When entering the building, show your vaccine card at the desk to receive a dot. If no vaccine verification you get an orange dot, vaccine verified gets a different color dot. If you have an orange dot or no dot, you must wear a mask.
