Hello Young at Heart Family!
Memorial Day Reminder
As we enjoy the long weekend, please remember that Young at Heart will not be meeting on Monday, May 25.
Memorial Day is much more than the unofficial start of summer. It is a day set aside to honor and remember the brave men and women who gave their lives while serving our country. We are grateful for their sacrifice and the freedoms we enjoy because of them.
❤️ We remember.
❤️ We honor.
❤️ We give thanks.
📅 May Is Coming to an End…
Can you believe it? May is already wrapping up!
“I was just getting used to writing May on my calendar… and June said, ‘Hold my iced tea!'” 😄
🍽️ Wednesday Lunch – May 27
This week, our delicious meal will be prepared by Meals on Wheels.
A donation of $3.50 is requested.
📞 Please RSVP by Tuesday!
“RSVPs are like vegetables… everybody knows they should do them early!” 😂
🧠 TEAM TRIVIA AFTER LUNCH!
Get ready for a lively round of Team Trivia immediately following our meal on Wednesday!
Our Game Masters will challenge us with a wide variety of trivia questions that are sure to entertain, stump, and delight everyone.
It is fun…
It is challenging…
And it is most definitely FUN!
🏆 Bragging rights are on the line!
