Office Hours
Mondays from 10am-2pm
Have you checked out the items
in the glass cases near the Senior
Center Office? With a constant
rotation of seasonal inventory,
these handmade creations from our
Sewing and Crafts Group are ideal
for home decor or gifts. A talented
group of women, led by Janet
Brady, tries to offer something for everyone. As Diana Schneeberger
explains, Janet is the driving force of the group. “She will come in with
new ideas and magazine clippings of things she thinks we can do, and
we work together to make them.” Members try to align their products
with current trends and holidays, to keep popular items well stocked.
This drop-in group welcomes new members looking for a creative outlet
and can answer your questions about crafting. Come craft with us!

Talk with Tiffany
Tiffany Greene
Senior Center
Manager
Hello! I have enjoyed getting to know many of you. “Tea at The Drake” was my first
trip, and I look forward to joining another group for The King and I in May. I have
tried to pop into most programs and will continue to make the rounds in spring.
(I also am responsible for all fitness programming.) You can stop by the front desk
and ask for Tiffany, if you would like to chat about new ideas for programs.
My kids just turned 4 and 2 and keep me busy, outside of work. McKiah enjoys
her dance class, and Blaze takes sports class. We recently enjoyed a trip to the
Brookfield Zoo, and are planning a trip to the Wisconsin Dells this summer. If you
have any suggestions or favorite spots, please share them with me.
I am very happy that you have welcomed me into the Senior Center family. I look
forward to getting to know more of you. I hope that you enjoy spring and summer
and the activities we have planned for you.
Tiffany

funny anecdotes, etc. Drop off your labeled contributions at the
