Senior Luncheon
Thursday, June 20
Senior Luncheons return on the third Thursday of the month, from 11 am to 1 pm at the United Methodist Church, 1543 Barbara St., in Wrightwood.
Attendance at the popular luncheons is increasing and the room is usually quite full at 11:15, so latecomers beware. The delightful servers and helpers come from the Wrightwood Elementary school. Their parents really should see the nice manners and helpful attitudes on display by their progeny.
Guests are invited to enjoy a home-made meal for a suggested donation of $6 each.
The luncheons are the creation of Joyce Harrison and Bruce LaClaire, who are still working on obtaining funds to finance a 501©)(3) non-profit designation from the IRS so they can apply for grants toward a Senior Center for Wrightwood.
