Sloppy Joes Devoured on 8/28


 
2015's "Vegas, Baby!" event is certainly off to an enthusiastic start! More than 80 Seniors enjoyed sloppy joe sandwiches and cookies while giving us their opinions at this year's first Senior Advisory Committee (SAC) meeting. Many of those spirited Seniors signed up to participate in the Senior Assembly at 10:30am on October 6th. We encourage you to stop by and see the 10 minute show, or better yet... volunteer to help out (see below).

The next SAC meeting will be on Thursday, September 25th. ALL Seniors are invited to enjoy yummy food at that lunchtime meeting. No RSVP needed -- Seniors can just show up to the Library Lecture Hall. Entertainment/Activities will be the topic of discussion. Please spread the word!
