A Message From The Director

Greetings!

Happy Spring! Thanks to all who helped in making our 11th Annual Dinner Auction Benefit fundraiser the a huge success! When all was said and done we raised over $30,000 for our operations here at the center! Thanks to the many who donated cash or items, sold tickets, worked on a committee, or simply came and supported the cause. It is because of our great members willingness to help, along with a lot of dedicated volunteers and staff, that it is possible to reach our goals each year! Thank You All Very Much! So now it’s on to other events and activities for the remainder of 2015 like our Karaoke Day on April 8th and our Mother’s Day Luncheon coming up in May, or our Summer Croquet League beginning in June! Whatever it is that catches your eye, I sincerely hope that you’ll come and enjoy all of the great things going on at Hillyard Senior Center! Lastly, I am still waiting for some Monday afternoon ping pong challengers at our game day activity in the HSC Craft room! Happy Easter ! Jerry ☺

The HSC Senior Summer Croquet League will be holding an organizational Meeting on Monday May 11th from 1:00 PM. The purpose of the meeting is to cover rules, fees, and to introduce this fun activity for seniors interested in playing this summer. The league will begin in Mid June and continue through mid August. If you are interested in playing as an individual or forming your own three person team, plan to attend this informational meeting.

A HUGE THANK YOU! to everyone that supported our Annual Dinner Auction Fundraiser! And to the many vol-unteers that worked on the Auction, your help was essential to the overall success of the Auction, it truly wouldn’t have been possible without your efforts! I am so looking forward to Spring, I assume you are as well. I hope you’ll find a day trip in April to join me on, it’s time to get out of the house and get back to the center! Also mark your calendars and make plans now to join us on Saturday, May 9th for our annual Moth-er’s Day Luncheon.
