Davie County Senior Services closes out June with several fun activities.
Each day, the Senior Lunchbox activity begins at 10 am. This month, the group worked on making clothespin wreaths on June 16 and 17. They also participated in Chair Volleyball, Joke Day, and so much more. If you are 60 and older, this program is one you definitely don’t want to miss! Lunch must be reserved the day prior. Hot meals are served every weekday and a salad option is offered on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. For more information on the Senior Lunchbox, call Senior Services at 336-753-6230.
On June 21, Prevette & Son Plumbing LLC sponsored the June Bingo! This event had 66 participants and was loads of fun. Snacks included Chex mix and berry punch. The grand prizes consisted of an umbrella and two extra-large rain gauges.
On Friday, June 24, Senior Services partnered with Smart Start of Davie County for a special Grandparents and Me event where grandparents and their grandchildren or great grandchildren (aged birth-5) were invited to read stories, create a craft, and share a snack together. At the end of the event, the children were invited to pick out a book to take home to read together with their families.
On Monday, June 27, Senior Services held their monthly What’s Cooking: Foods, Fads, and Helpful Home Hacks. At this event, the seniors discussed several different methods on removing the silk from corn. First, they tried the method where you used rubber gloves. Next, they all took their corn on the cob and used a corn stripper to remove all of the corn from the cob. Lastly, each person received a second ear of corn where they removed the silk again to try a new method of buttering corn. Each person took a piece of light bread, buttered the bread, and then used the piece of bread to apply the butter to the corn. It actually worked extremely well! Each person then got to take their ears of corn home to cook for supper. It was a great event.
