KARAOKE-BINGO, January 11th 7:00 p.m.

Karaoke-BINGO has been an exciting and fun event for the community.  It seems that everyone is getting use to the new on-line reservation system, and the Friday night events are getting filled up.  If you are uncomfortable with registering on-line, you can come by the Senior Center and register.  All registrations are first-come, first-serve.  If there is more than one reservation you will have to choose a team leader that will be the name on the registration, just like at a restaurant.  The team leader does not have to be the person making and paying for all the registrations.  Each individual can make their own registration, but will have to remember to include the team leader’s name.  Remember, reservations are non-refundable.  You will pay $6.00 to make your registration on line and then $5.00 at the door for the BINGO packet as required b the Gambling Commission.

Kitchen Corner News from Chef Janice

Another year has come and gone and we are on to another great adventure.  January special meals will bring us a Cajun Heritage Meal, Martin Luther King Day, Birthday and Chinese New Year.  Many of you may have noticed that the herb garden and the space in front of it was renovated over the winter.  This was done by a local Eagle Scout troop under the direction of Scout Charles Martinez.  The park benches are a welcome addition to the space and come spring we will be planting flowers.
