FROM THE DIRECTOR
Happy July everyone,
As we get the summer up and going, come on into the senior center
this month and join us for all the summer fun. Last month we had a
great time getting the summer classes and activities underway.
As we move into July, which is national Hot Dog and Ice Cream
month, we will be honoring these two yummy treats during our 3rd
annual 4th of July celebration. Come down to the center on Tuesday,
July 2nd, starting at 6pm and join us for the City of Clio fireworks
show. Bring your lawn chairs and blankets for this family-friendly, alcohol free event. We will be having food and 50/50 tickets to raise
some funds for the center and a donation jar will be available for you
to drop off any contribution you might feel is appropriate for the use
of the facility during the evening. Thank you all for the many ways
you support the center through your giving of time and resources!
We also have a couple new offerings this month. Starting on July 10th
at 10am we will be offering a six-week class called Matter of Balance.
Please see the write-up inside the newsletter. We are also offering our
new Tai Chi class this month, see the description on the pages inside
for further details.
And remember, we are a cooling center, so come on in on those hot
July days and keep cool and have some fun with us!
And as always, we look forward to seeing you at the center this
month.
Serving together,
Daryl Vanella, Executive Director
