Davie Senior Services

Davie County Senior Services had a fantastic November.
The month kicked off with Caring with Cards on Wednesday, Nov. 6. Participants created beautiful Christmas Cards for all of the homebound Meals on Wheels recipients.
The day trip for November was to Ashe County. The seniors visited the Ashe County Cheese Factory as well as shopped and dined in restaurants in the area.
The Annual Veteran’s Appreciation Event was Nov. 7. Each year, Senior Services volunteer, Luther Potts, gathers donations, monetary and in-kind, to make this event one of the best of the year. Potts also leads the program. At the luncheon event, Mike Drayton led the group in a moment of silence and invocation followed by the Posting of the Colors from Clemmons VFW. Vince Dreyer led the group in the Pledge of Allegiance. At the dinner event, Tommy Barney led the invocation and moment of silence, followed by the Davie County High School JROTC posting the colors. Clyde Scott Sr. led the Pledge of Allegiance. At both events, the Davie County Singing Seniors performed the National Anthem, the Branch of Service songs, and “This Land I Love.” The meals were catered by Miller’s Restaurant, and the entertainment was veteran, Rockie Lynne. Clemmons VFW closed both events with taps.
On Nov. 14, Davie Senior Games and Special Olympics visited RISE Indoor Sports Complex for a fun bocce tournament.
The Theatre Club enjoyed seeing the Branson Ozark Jubilee and enjoyed great fellowship together.
Senior Services held a Gingerbread House Making Contest on Nov. 19 where several participants battled it out to win the cookie cutters to take home. Winner was Victoria Mardis.
November’s bingo was on Friday, Nov. 22, sponsored by Sam’s Ice Cream, which also provided the snack.
What’s Cooking: Foods, Fads, and Helpful Home Hacks talked about easy sheet pan dinners and made a Parmesan Crusted chicken.
