Club 55 Annual Holiday Dinner

This annual dinner to celebrate the holidays is a club event.  During the dinner, the club raffles off gift cards to raise funds for their current projects.  Participants at the dinner are also asked to bring a food donation for the local food locker.

4th of July Parade and Holiday Lights Parade

The seniors participate in these annual community parades.  They arrive early to decorate a fancy car or the center van which is then driven in the community parades.  The seniors also give out candy to children during the parade.

Elegant Dinner Delivery

this program is to promote socialization for homebound seniors.  A homebound senior or one who could use a bit of a lift is asked to invite a friend for lunch at their home.  The center then arranges for two meals to be donated by a local restaurant for the senior and their guest.  A volunteer delivers the meal and sets the table up with a china place setting and a gift for the senior and their friend.  Later the china is picked up by a center driver to come back for the next time.  So many local restaurants are so willing to help with this program that they only have to do this once a year.
