Welcome
WELCOME TO THE UPPER MERION SENIOR SERVICE CENTER
With the heat of the summer months, I invite you to enjoy the air conditioning at the Center. We are always available for you to spend the day, bring lunch and enjoy reading in the library or participating in one of our many activities. If the weather permits, step out on our patio, sit under an umbrella, and enjoy the beautiful garden. Our garden group has done a spectacular job this year.
I hope we all enjoyed the General Meeting and BBQ. I know I ate some delicious food catered by the Bridgeport Rib House. Thank you to Lauretta Zimmer and all the volunteers who organized, set up, and cleaned up. Could not have any of the special events and gatherings without our volunteers.
Mark your calendars for ice cream at Petrucci’s this summer. July 17th and August 21st. This is a give back program and Petrucci’s will donate a percentage of their proceeds to the Senior Center. Stop by between 6:00 and 8:30 PM to support the Center
Some of our activities are on hiatus for the summer but will return in the fall. Why not try Bocce or Corn Hole? They both start early to avoid the heat of the day.
On September 20th, we are sponsoring our Annual Holiday Craft Fair and Bake Sale. Marion Wilkinson has registered all the vendors for the Fair and Carol Mellom will be organizing the Bake Sale. Watch for a signup in the lobby if you wish to donate any baked goods.
I hope you all enjoy celebrating the July 4th holiday and remember all the reasons we celebrate our country, its founding, and its ideals. Have a safe holiday
Hope to see you around the Center enjoying all we have to offer.
