Last week was a short one due to the holidays, but it still packed in plenty of fun, including a lively round of Family Feud that had everyone laughing. The good news for the week ahead is that things are settling into a comfortable rhythm with activities spread throughout the week.
Monday, the week starts off quietly with quilting at 9 a.m.
Lunch is served from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and features pizza, potato wedges, corn, garden salad, and fruit.
Tuesday brings Mah Jong at 9 a.m. followed by Bingo at 12:00pm.
Lunch on Tuesday includes chicken alfredo, garlic breadsticks, Italian vegetables, and fruit.
Wednesday is one of the busier days. Exercise class begins at 10 a.m., followed by Bible study at 10:30 a.m., and the always-popular Balloon Volleyball at 12:00pm.
Lunch on Wednesday features meatloaf, potatoes and gravy, green beans, rolls, and fruit.
The Hughes Center will be closed on Thursday in observance of New Year’s Day.
Friday starts strong with Samba at 9 a.m. and Music Jam at 11:45 a.m. Friday also includes a special evening event with a Friday night dance at 7 p.m. featuring Johnny Mace.
Lunch on Friday includes battered cod, macaroni and cheese, stewed tomatoes, fruit, and the weekly ice cream sundae with all the toppings.
Meals are available every weekday the center is open. Lunch costs $5 for those 60 and older, with a suggested $7 donation for those under 60. A new option is also available for grandchildren—children 12 and under may eat for $3 when dining with a guest. Each meal includes access to the salad bar, soup, fruit, and dessert.
The Hughes Senior Center is always looking for volunteers, whether helping with activities, music, or in the kitchen. Anyone interested is encouraged to stop by, visit online, or follow along on Facebook.
The center thanks its sponsors, Garner Smith Insurance and Phoenix Home Care and Hospice, for helping make these programs possible and for their continued support of local seniors.
