 The
Senior Press
by Nancy (Punky) Drawe
  Are
you ready for a party?
Now that Valentine’s Day is over and everyone had fun
at the party held at the
Sr.
Center that day, a perfect occasion for more good times is
coming up! Since
next Wednesday is the day of the green, St. Patrick’s Day,
the senior center will be hosting a meal fit for the
leprechauns (and non-leprechauns, of course)!
On Wednesday, March 17 at 11:30, you can feast upon a
corned beef and cabbage dinner catered by TJ’s, and after
you eat, stay and enjoy an afternoon of music and dancing.
John Guido, who has been the entertainment at the
center many times, is returning once again to serenade you
with his toe tapping Irish tunes!
The cost for the afternoon is only $7.00.
Since this is such a popular event, make sure you sign
up to reserve a seat. If
you really want to have lunch with your friends, but corned
beef isn’t your favorite, ham will also be served.
Remember, everyone is Irish on this day!
Recently I wrote about how one of the
cooks at the center, Zahra Ali, entered her chili in the
Woodville Rod and Gun Club and
Grace
United
Methodist
Churches
chili cook-off’s and won at both places.
Today at the center, Zahra made her award winning chili
and served it for lunch. Everyone
LOVED it! The best
part is that it’s mild with just a little kick to it.
That’s perfect since a lot of people can’t eat
spicy foods. One
man told me that he had never had chili before today.
I said, “NEVER? Not in your whole life?”
He said that he couldn’t believe what he missed out
on because it was delicious!
Check the monthly menus in the Hilltopper and make sure
you come for lunch the next time Zahra makes her famous chili!
Here’s a few dates to mark on your
calendar: The
Health Fair is coming up on Saturday, March 27 from 9 am to 1
pm. I’ll be
writing more about that in the next couple of weeks.
Also, the Hopkinton High School National Honor Society
students will be hosting their annual Senior Citizen Tea at
the school on Tuesday, April 6 from 2:30-4:30.
More on that later, too!
Doreen Garner’s dog training classes will be starting
on Tuesday, March 30 at 2 pm.
This is a four week class, so if you’re interested,
call the senior center to register.
Don’t forget to set your clocks AHEAD
this weekend!
Remember to check out my
Senior
Center
blog at hcam.tv—that I hope to update soon!
Also, watch the new HCAM News Show on Monday, Wednesday
and Friday at 6 pm! Channel
8 for Comcast and Channel 30 for Verizon.
That’s it for now. Email me at: Punkala@aol.com
