Welcome back to The Hughes News at the Hughes Senior Center. Administrator Debbie Dowden and board member Tina Cross are here to share updates on recent events, daily activities, and a packed week ahead.
The recent silent auction was a success, and there is still one item available. The quilt from the auction will be raffled off this Friday. The center continues to stay busy every day with pool, cards, bingo, balloon volleyball, gospel sing, music jam, and more. Visitors are also encouraged to check out the on-site gift shop, which offers affordable gifts for birthdays, anniversaries, and holidays.
Upcoming highlights include a trivia game on January 28 at noon and ongoing nominations for the Valentine’s King and Queen. Volunteers are always welcome, even if you can only help for an hour.
The center will be closed Monday in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day and will reopen Tuesday at 8:00 a.m.
Tuesday, Mahjong begins at 9:00 a.m., followed by bingo at noon.
Lunch that day will include ham and beans, cornbread, spinach, fried potatoes with onions, fruit, and ice cream.
Wednesday is a big day at the center. Bible study starts at 10:00 a.m., followed by the monthly birthday dinner with special guest Monte Luke.
Lunch will feature fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans, a biscuit, birthday cake, fruit, and ice cream.
Thursday, Mahjong begins at 9:00 a.m., gospel sing follows at 9:45 a.m., and bingo starts at noon.
Lunch will be grilled chicken on a bun, potato salad, baked beans, and fruit.
Friday starts with Samba at 9:00 a.m. and music jam at 11:45 a.m.
Lunch will include spaghetti with meat sauce, garlic bread, buttered corn, salad, fruit, and an ice cream sundae bar.
Friday night wraps up with a dance at 7:00 p.m. featuring Spring Hollow.
Looking ahead to February, the Hughes Senior Center will host Valentine’s Day activities with several giveaways, along with their own Hughes Center Olympics.
The center thanks Garner and Smith Insurance and Phoenix Home Care and Hospice for sponsoring Hughes News and supporting the Hughes Senior Center. Everyone is encouraged to stop by, volunteer, and be part of the fun.
