Welcome
WELCOME TO THE UPPER MERION SENIOR SERVICE CENTER
Welcome to April. The year is moving along quickly but I am glad the winter weather is in our rear-view mirror. Looking forward to opening our garden/patio area for your enjoyment this year. The Garden Group is making plans to bring in summer flowers and add perennials. If you are interested in helping with the garden, please let us know.
Thank you all who attended our March General Meeting and St Patrick’s luncheon. I hope you will continue to join us for our next meeting in June. A big thank you to Lauretta Zimmer and her volunteers who organized the delicious food we enjoyed at the luncheon. Thank you to the Board Members and Committee for donating the fine desserts. Hope you had a wonderful time, learned something about how the Center works and have a new understanding of how your Board of Directors are involved and lead many activities.
April 21st is our semi-annual Big Bingo event. This is our biggest semi-annual fundraiser. If you can support the event by donating a gift basket for the basket raffle it would be appreciated. Make sure you get your tickets to play, help us advertise the event, and bring your friends. Always great fun!
There are several presentations coming up in the next couple of months. Please be sure to check the remainder of the newsletter and calendar to find out more and plan to attend. It is important to have an audience when the presenters volunteer their time by visiting us and providing their expertise. I know I always learn something new whenever I attend.
As I always say – hope to see you around the Center enjoying activities and meeting and socializing with other members.
Until next time,
Sharon Brzoska, President
