News at the Senior Center
Wow, December was a very busy month! We
hope that you were at the center to experience the
Writers’ Workshop present their Memoirs, Dr. Debi
Lux and the Honor Flight presentation, Nancy
Scariati and the Boston Reds Soxs presentation, the
Recreational Tappers, Dottie Jackson with holiday
sing-a-long, the Literal Fashion Show featuring our
very own members and the Travelogue-Modern
Egypt and Life Along the Nile….and these are only
the programs that we offered on Wednesdays!
We also celebrated the expansion of our Senior
Center at an open house on December 6, registering 42 new members.
The Center for Critical Thinking once again
stimulated great discussion with “The Federal
Debt; we ever get out of it?
All of these programs would not be possible if we
didn’t have great volunteers. Please let our volunteers know how much you appreciate their giving
of their time and talents to make this center so
vibrant.

January 4—Heaven Knows, Mr. Allison, 1957, NR

When his master dies, a loyal pooch named Hachi keeps a vigil for more than a decade at

January 25—Secondhand Lions, 2003, PG
"Secondhand Lions" is about the uncles every boy should have, and the summer every

Michael Caine, Robert Duvall and Haley Joel Osment.

Book Club-lead by Bob Freedman
“All the Light We Cannot See” by Anthony Doerr
The Novel details the lives of a blind French girl and a
German boy whose paths collide in occupied France as
both try to survive the devastation of WWII. Mr. Doerr
writes with a great deal of thought and crafts each
chapter so you stay connected with the two story lines.
We are pleased to have Bob’s vast experience leading
this interactive book club. Stop by Marla Ramsey’s
office to get a complete book review and a discussion
guide to aid you in preparation of the book club meeting. Join us on January 19, 1:30 pm
