Description: This month we’d like to welcome back instructor Ray Carnes. Ray, who taught the computer class during the summer will be taking over for our longtime instructor, Kim Hayes. Kim left for a new and totally different job. Ray was more than willing to continue teaching the class. Ray became interested in computers having taken classes back in highschool. He studied Information Technology in his homeland of Queensland, Australia. He taught I.T. at the University of Redlands, and does work for Odoo, a management software company which produces management software that is also used by teachers. Both classes will start out with a Q & A session to determine where his students are and what they need to learn, and what they would like to work on. Classes will be tailored to fit the needs of the students. Classes are on Thursday, with Computer Desk Top 101 from 9-10 am, and Intermediate Computers from 10-11 am. Sessions are 8 weeks in length, with classes held quarterly. Cost is only $8 for members and non-members.

Featured Activity

Senior Bingo
Time: Mondays 1:00 pm
Cost: $3.00 Buy - In members
       non-members
Location: Highland Senior Center
Description: One of the largest, loudest, and some might say most fun programs at the Highland Senior Center is Bingo. Bingo is played every Monday afternoon at 1:00 p.m. for area Seniors. A person may have a fun afternoon for only $3.00 for a pack and you can play all the regular games. For $6.00 a person can play every game including the bonus games. The pay outs may reach up to over $25.00. Where else could a person have a whole afternoon of entertainment at such a bargain price! In addition to Mondays, Senior Bingo is also played at the center every second and fourth Saturdays at l:00 p.m. Bring a sack lunch and come early. Clara Henderson had a big birthday wish come true when she came to play on her special day. She ended up winning the big $210 pot. All are invited to come and try any or all of these Bingo events. Anyone who has not tried playing Bingo at the Highland Senior Center is missing out on a lot of inexpensive fun, plus the opportunity to go home with more than coming with. Give it a try!
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!
