Dear Patrons,
Things are really heating up at the Senior Center for August with special programs scattered throughout the month! One major highlight for August is the annual Art in Bloom Exhibit on Tuesday, August 5th. This exhibit is a collaboration between the COA art classes and the Seaside Gardeners. The exhibit is visually breathtaking and offers an opportunity to socialize while you enjoy light refreshments.
A second big event is a “patio party” where we will be celebrating the renovation of the patio with new furnishings, landscaping and fencing. This will take place on Monday, August 11th from 2:30 – 3:30. We will also host Richard Black as Elvis on the 13th and then on the 22nd we will have a BBQ lunch with game presenter Kevin Richmond. There are two great presentations to attend, one with Nancy Franks on August 25th on the Cape Cod Sea Shore and Bob Jackman’s talk on the 28th on the Jim Crow Era and Juneteenth history (rescheduled from June).
If you are crafty, we have a couple of fun classes you may want to consider. One option is a “Sea Glass Creation” class and the other is making a “Coastal Clay Windchime”.
If you want to improve your knowledge or skills, consider the digital literacy class or maybe learn about gut health with Chris Ventura on August 14th.
As we continue to plan more programs, we want to encourage you to consider signing up for a Booster Membership if you have not already done so this year. This membership is critical for supplementing COA programs and resources throughout the year. For this year, the Boosters have contributed $24,000 to the COA. Booster Membership applications are available at the Senior Center for 2025 or you can join on their website.
Have a very happy and fulfilling month,
Carol
