Nutrition Program
Time: Dailys 12:00 pm
Cost: $1.75 members

Location: Dining Room
Description: This week, the Highland Senior Center would like to give you a little background on a program that many people take advantage of but probably know little about: their Nutrition Program. It has been going on here at the center for nearly 40 years. When it first began, it was run by San Bernardino County. There was even a cook who prepared the meals at the center. The following year it was taken over by the City of San Bernardino through the Parks and Recreation program, which has been running it ever since. The meals are cooked downtown and delivered to the center Monday through Friday. From there, the centers' Nutrition team of volunteers take over feeding approximately 225 diners every week. Starting at 8:00 am, the group comes in and begins cleaning the kitchen and getting everything ready for the food. When it arrives around 11:00 am they prepare the trays and service begins at 12:00 pm. Once everyone is done, its time to clean the kitchen and dinning area in preparation for the next day. This needs to be done because they are inspected regularly by three different agencies. The County of San Bernardino, the City of San Bernardino, and the Department of Aging and Adult Service. However, its not all about the food. Many people come also come for the social interaction; coming hours early to chat and visit with friends, staying afterwards to participate in activities. As they say, man cannot live by food alone, and the crowd shows that they are hungry for more. The cost is only $1.75 for those ages 60 and older, and $3.75 for non-seniors.

Mark your calendar and get ready to dosey doe as we host our annual Fall Hoedown & Crafters Fair. The event takes place on Saturday, October 5th, from 11 am and carries on until the cows come home...or 1 p.m., whichever comes first! Admission is free, but you need to get tickets beforehand.

Once again the Wemberley Blue Grass Band will be on hand to provide live entertainment and to get people to kick up their boots on the dance floor. There will also be a line dance area outside for those so inclined. If dancing isn’t your thing, you can also find a great deal or early Christmas gift at our Crafters Fair.

After a few hours of dancing or shopping, or both, our guests might be a tad bit hungry. Thank goodness our friends from the Gas Co. will be on hand with their mobile gas bbq. They will BBQing up some mouth-watering grub.

So break out your buggy, saddle that horse, or load up that surrey with the fringe on top and make your way over for a rootin’ tootin’ good time. Heck you can even skip to my lou. Just make sure you make it down here! The shin-dig is sponsored by our good friends at the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, the Gas Co. and Leisure Pointe.
