Davie County Senior Services had a great December.
The month began with a snow that halted activities for one day, but it sure was beautiful.
The monthly veteran’s social was held on Dec. 5 as well as the monthly Chat with Your Senior Tar Heel.
The Singing Seniors Chorus performed at Somerset Court, Brookstone of Clemmons, Davie Nursing and Rehab, and Senior Services. They begin practicing again on Jan. 2 at 10 a.m. for their next season of musical numbers. They are scheduled to perform on Valentine’s Day at 2 p.m. at the Senior Services Valentine’s Day Party.
Grandparents & Me met on Dec. 6 with Santa Claus, story time, and snacks.
The Mocksville Parade was held Dec. 7, and Ms. Senior Davie County, Lynn Vogler, rode in the parade.
The Senior Services Annual Christmas Party was Dec. 12, and featured wonderful entertainment from the Davie County High School Jazz Ensemble. The Jazz Ensemble was comprised of more than 30 students, and they played four amazing Christmas songs. Food was served following the performance, and everyone had a great time.
The Theatre Club visited Lexington Live Community Theatre on Sunday, Dec. 15 to see a fantastic rendition of “It’s a Wonderful Life.”
On Dec. 17, Senior Services offered a trip Korner’s Folly in Kernersville. The tour was amazing, and so many folks enjoyed seeing the decorations for Christmas.
In addition, on Dec. 17, Senior Services held Christmas Bingo, sponsored by Cindy Ellis from Martin, Van Hoy, and Raisbeck LLP.
The Christmas Cornhole Singles Tournament was held Dec. 19 at the Brock. The competitors played in a single elimination tournament, and Wayne Randleman came home with the Christmas prize.
To close out the month of fun activities, Senior Services held the monthly class, What’s Cooking. This class featured a dish in the oven with chicken, Brussel sprouts, and sweet potatoes. The class worked on chopping vegetables and getting the seasonings just right before tasting the dish.
