Grandma Sally’s first great-grandchild was born and after
a few weeks, the parents asked her to babysit. “Let me
see the little cutie,” begs her friend Gerty. “Not yet”, Sally
responds. When she again refuses five minutes later
Gerty has had enough “what are you waiting for?” she
fumed. “I’m waiting for her to cry.” “Why is that?”
questioned Gerty. “Well, because I forgot where I put
her!”
There are many sign-up sheets in the center – please feel free to check them out and join in some of these activities. They are
located on the stand below the large TV set. Signups are required for the breakfast, trips, covered dishes, and more. Also, all
day trips are scheduled for departure by 9:30. SO, unless otherwise stated on the sign-up sheet, please be at the center,
ready to travel, by 9:00 so that we can confirm headcounts and payments. Thank you for the effort to help us keep these
updated, as well.
CHRISTIAN FRIENDS
& CHORUS
The Christian Friends of
the Senior Center will host
a dinner on June 27, with
music by the Sonlighters.
Tickets will be available
after May 1. Anybody, any
age that is interested can
join this group and be a
part of their activities.
The chorus will perform on
May 14 at the Autumn
House East. We would like
to extend a special thank
you to Lance Crowl for
taking time from his busy
schedule and offering to
be our choral director.
From the Board…….
Mark your calendars and save the date for our Annual Dinner and Meeting
scheduled for Tuesday, May 12th. Dinner will be served at 6 PM with the business
meeting to follow immediately.
Tickets are available for $5 each. The dinner is being catered and will include Kunzler
baked ham, baked potato with butter & sour cream, green beans, tossed salad with
croutons & dressing and dessert.
If you are new to the senior center, this dinner and meeting is our mandatory annual
meeting where we conduct the business of the senior center, review the happenings
of the past year, and vote on the board members. This is your opportunity to meet
the board members that you may not see on a regular basis during the center’s
normal operating hours. We are also scheduled to have a representative of the York
County Agency on Aging update us on the changes within the agency.
Please see Trena or Tracy to purchase your ticket for this annual event. It is also
possible to attend the meeting without having the dinner. If you would like to ONLY
attend the meeting, please let Trena or Tracy know so that seating will be available
for you after 6:30 PM.

Hey You, special volunteers, for all that you do for us…….Thank You - Thank You - Thank You!!!!!!
Sharon Flickinger - Lester and Candi Ramer These center members, family members, and community friends, in one way or another, help us at the center to
maintain a place that is clean, fun and beneficial to the senior members of our community. We appreciate any
and all volunteers, so, on behalf of the staff, thank you all so much for all that you do. These volunteers help us
by cleaning in the center, helping in the kitchen, delivering meals on wheels, preparing tax returns, directing
our chorus, Bible study, and fitness classes, preparing breakfasts, helping at fundraisers and various other jobs.
April is Volunteer Appreciation Month, but we appreciate each and every one of you all every day of the year.
The book club will meet on Thursday, May 21 at 12:30 to
discuss “Haven” by Kay Hooper. The club rated “Dirty
Blonde” by Lisa Scottoline 4 stars.
The winner of the volunteer
drawing in March was George
Holtzinger. He won a $10.00 gift
card to Rutters.
Covered Dish Guidelines
1. Please bring all foods, prepared, ready to eat. We will keep foods warmed, or cooled, but we will not be
responsible for cooking the items.
2. If you are unable to cook or purchase a contribution, please see a staff member for pre-approved alternate
choices.
3. Please bring your covered dish item in a container, clearly marked with your name on it (lids and bases).
4. Please refrain from bringing serving utensils. We have sufficient amounts of utensils to supply you, and there will
be no chance of misplacing your personal items.
5. The kitchen staff and volunteers will not be responsible for washing your personal containers, so please take your
dish home and wash it.
6. Members that are physically disabled, or need assistance, will be offered first chance at being served. Following
these individuals, tables will be excused by staff. If there is a valid need for any member to be served early, please
discuss this with the director, beforehand. This is unfair to other members that must wait their turn.
7. This is not a carry-out event, so there will not be any take home containers. If a member signed up ahead of time
and is unable to attend due to unforeseen circumstances, please talk to Trena about a take home lunch for that
person. Meals are meant to be eaten at the center only.
8. All covered dish events are organized off of a signup sheet that is located in the center with plenty of notice.
Please sign up for these events beforehand so that we know how many meals to order.
