The past week was filled with holiday cheer, beginning with the recognition of December’s Angel Award winners, Jane and Joe Moore, who were honored for their continued generosity and willingness to help wherever needed. The week included a wonderful sing-along, an indoor snowball fight that brought plenty of laughs, and a big Wednesday celebration featuring Monty Luke, Santa Claus, Mrs. Claus, and a room full of elves. Santa even joined in by singing and dancing as 136 guests were served lunch that day. The week wrapped up with a return visit from Cross Christian Academy, whose students once again impressed everyone with their performance.
Looking ahead, this will be a short holiday week at the Hughes Senior Center, but there is still plenty happening.
Monday
The center will be open with regular activities. Quilting Club begins at 9:00 a.m., followed by Family Feud at 12:00 p.m.
Lunch on Monday will include smothered pork chops, scalloped potatoes, mixed vegetables, and fruit.
Tuesday
The center will be open for a special brunch from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
Brunch will feature scrambled eggs, sausage, hash browns, biscuits and gravy, and fruit.
The center will close at 12:30 p.m. on Tuesday and remain closed for the rest of the week so staff can spend time with their families.
Friday Night Dance
Even though the center will be closed during the week, the Friday Night Dance will still take place. Lonesome Highway will perform from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. Admission is $5 per person, with a reduced rate of $3 for children 12 and under, making it a great option for grandparents to bring their grandkids during the school break.
The Hughes Senior Center is located at 460 West Fifth Street in Lebanon and is typically open Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., with lunch served from 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Lunch is $5 for those 60 and older and a $7 donation for those under 60.
Volunteers are always welcome. Opportunities include helping with activities, delivering Meals on Wheels, or assisting in the kitchen. Those with ideas for new activities are encouraged to share them.
