Featured Activity
Yarn Crafts
Time: Fridays 10am - 12pm
Cost: Free members
Free non-members
Location: Parlor
Description: Yes, it’s true! The Knitting Group is no more! However, have no fear. It is now known as the Yarn Crafts group. However, it’s not just yarn. Now it will include crochet, needle works, embroidery, and yes, knitting. The group is still headed by Keiko Holcombe, but the others in the group will be on hand to lend their individual knowledge and skills where needed. The students will continue to work on individual projects. The class is small, with about 12-15 students, so 1 on 1 time is guaranteed. If any of these sounds like something you might be interested in, the group meets on Fridays from 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
Sinatra Dinner Show
By: Mike Sylva
Ol’ Blue Eyes was back at the center, much to the delight of a sold out crowd, for another Dinner Show. Michael Sinatra crooned oldies but goodies. While our chefs were busy preparing an Italian dinner for the crowd, Michael sang to an audience as hungry for his songs, as they were for dinner. We call him the Chairman of the Board, he also sang the hits of Tony Bennett, Dean Martin, and many others.
While popular with everyone, he is always especially popular with the ladies. A few lucky ones came up front for a personal crooning. One poignant moment was when Jack & Regina Milke, celebrating their anniversary, did a special dance.
Thanks to our volunteers, Aneta Giltner, Dianne Kassotis, Theresa Rago for helping serve dinner and drinks to everyone. Special thanks go out to PrimeCare for sponsoring this great night out!
