With that said, please mark your calendars for Friday, February 13th. Starting at noon we will have lunch, which will be furnished by the chef from Sterling House Assisted Living of Davison. The entertainment will be provided by The Flint Arrowhead Group. The cost is $5.00 and the proceeds will go to the Alzheimer’s Association. The menu will consist of Lasagna, Tossed Salad, Garlic Bread, Dessert & Coffee. Please come and enjoy a nice lunch with entertainment and help support this very important organization. YOU MUST RSVP & PAY BY: Friday, February 6th by the end of the business day. Some of you have probably already noticed that the front doors are locked till 9:00 a.m. The building and the office will open at the same time 9:00 a.m. The reason for this is; we realized that with the building opened at 8:00 a.m. people were here to conduct business and the office was not open yet. Nothing else has changed. The office is open from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Please take a good look through the newsletter. There are a couple of new programs that will be starting soon. The staff and I work very hard to keep you informed and offer knowledgeable events, programs and classes. If there is something you want us to look into please stop by and see us. We will do our best to research it and see if we can provide you with your suggestion. DID YOU KNOW: The Davison Area Senior Center has four dances every month? Please look through the newsletter and see if any of these dances would fit your style. I have come to a few of them and was extremely surprised with the high attendance. If you are not a dancer like me then come for the socialization. I enjoyed myself by going around to the tables and talking to everyone. ͼΒΥΙΪ͑ ͼΒΥΙΪ͑ 810.658.1566 • 810.658.8044 Fax • www.davison-sc.org 3 Coming Events Healing Oil Demonstration Generation Band Dance Monday, February 2, 2015 6:00-8:00 pm @ The Davison Area Senior Center Learn how to promote good health and heal health issues by the use of “Young Living Essential Oils”!
