The committee meets to plan events such as the ice cream social, senior picnic, veteran's appreciation lunch and holiday party. We need more volunteers. Committee members take on tasks such as gathering information, shopping for the event, setting up tables and chairs and working at the event. Ideas are always welcome. Please leave a message for Gladys Cox at the front desk.
Decorating Committee
The decorating committee helps to bring color and interest to the building as people enter to participate in all our activities. They meet each month focusing on the library, main lobby and the rec room. Consider joining the Decorating Committee.
Sunshine Committee
Do you know any member who is recovering from an illness/operation or the family of a member who has died? Or maybe a member who could use an extra ray of sunshine? We will send a card or make a phone call to let people know that they are in our thoughts and are special to us. Contact Lori Preddice at the center.
Gardening Help Needed
Even if you don't have the greenest of thumbs, we could use your help planting and maintaining the gardens. Please leave your name at the front desk if you are willing to volunteer for a few hours this summer.
Music Appreciation Group
A new committee is forming to bring music to the Senior Center! We are looking for volunteers to join us in planning musical enrichment for our members. Ideas include regular member singalongs and small live musical performances. If you are interested, please leave your name at the front desk.
