PITTSFORD SENIOR CITIZENS Present:
Thanksgiving Feast
As we welcome November and its celebrations, we
think of family and friends. We thrive on our
relationships with our families and our very special
friends. Our Pittsford Senior Center is a family
community. We endeavor to bring a sense of
belonging to all who participate in our many
activities. We want you to know how important each
and every one of you is to us.
Tuesday, November 15, 2016
Please join us for our annual Thanksgiving Feast on
Tuesday, November 15. A traditional Thanksgiving
menu will be served. After lunch we will enjoy the
music of a favorite performer, Joe Miltch. What a
wonderful way to begin the Holiday season as we
celebrate with our good friends!
Menu:
Roasted Turkey with Stuffing
Mashed Potatoes with Gravy
Squash
Peas
Cranberry Sauce
Pumpkin Pie
On Veterans Day, November 11, please take a
moment to remember and honor those men and
women who served in the military and those who
lost their lives in the service of our country. The
freedoms we enjoy and often take for granted would
not be possible without their sacrifice.
As we enter the season of giving, we thank you for
all of your donations to the Pittsford Food Cupboard.
We appreciate your continuing generosity as you
remember those in need in our community.
The annual “Coats for Seniors” project will run
through January 2, 2017. If you have winter coats,
jackets or other apparel which is gently used and in
good condition, please consider dropping these
items off at the Senior Center’s donation box, which
is located in our lobby. They will be distributed to the
many seniors in need throughout our community.
May you enjoy the blessings of a very
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
