Goshen Senior Center's news for May
Spring has sprung. As I write this many Goshen seniors are on a day trip to the Culinary Institute sponsored by the Goshen Senior Club, and it’s sunny and 70 degrees! I hope they’re having a great time. There are still seats available to the Senior Center-sponsored trip to Monticello Gaming and Racing on Wednesday, June 4. For $34 you get roundtrip bus transportation, a buffet luncheon, tickets to “The Honeymoaners” (an interactive comedy show), and time for gaming. For $10 you get roundtrip bus transportation, a buffet luncheon, and time for gaming or race viewing. The bus departs the Center at 9 a.m. and returns approximately 4:15 p.m. Checks should be made out to the Goshen Senior Center. Thanks to all for being patient with the lack of proper lighting in the large room. After eight years the lights have started to fail. We have had the help of the Goshen Fire District and the town highway department in getting the lights replaced. We still have to replace the ballasts on some and hope to have all the lights working soon. Time Warner Cable has generously given us cable hookup and monthly basic and standard cable service indefinitely. Feel free to take advantage of the TV in the small room anytime there are no programs in session. We are now offering two types of computer classes at the center. On Tuesdays from May 6 to May 27 we are offering computer basics classes. On Thursdays from May 8 to May 29, we are offering beyond the basics computer classes. Class size is limited to eight seniors. The cost is $10 for the four-week sessions. Please call the center 294-8545 to register. This month’s movie will be “The Devil Wears Prada.” Showtime is Monday, May 5, at 12:30 p.m. Pack a bagged lunch. Beverages will be available. Please RSVP. The AC Moore craft this month will be making beaded necklaces, which was postponed this winter. Many have already paid. If you haven’t and would like to attend, the cost is $7. Pendants will be available at an additional cost if you would like to add one. The book discussion will take place on Friday, May 30. This month’s discussion will be about the novel “The Kite Runner” by Khaled Hosseini. The center will be hosting the AARP Safe Driving Program on Monday, June 16. The two-part class will all take place in one day. Class time is from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The cost is $10 per person and is due that morning. Call the center to register at 294-8545.
