The Bethel Senior Citizen Club held their June meeting and folks met at Kowloon Restaurant. In the summer months we gather at local restaurants to support the local businesses and we take a pause planning the monthly meals. Kowloon’s hospitality was very accommodating for us to meet and also hold a meeting. Thank you Sue and your wonderful staff!
The Club is planning a fall trip. The turkey train is being organized and planned for the month of October. More details will follow.
The Seniors are holding their July 8th meeting at Morning Glory Farm out on the flat road in Bethel. It will be a patriotic themed gathering and everyone is looking forward to visiting one of our local farms. Museums of the Bethel Historical Society Executive Director Will Chapman will tell us about past centennial celebrations in Bethel and special exhibits and programs being held at the historical society this year to commemorate America’s 250th birthday.
This Senior Club, which began in 1962, welcomes Seniors to join its membership. Club dues are $10.00 for the year. All are welcome!
The June gathering for Neighbors Feeding Neighbors was a hit! In recognition of the upcoming Juneteenth federal holiday, Donald Coverdale prepared ribs, fried chicken, and potato salad, which were delicious.
The Bethel Library also provided books which were very helpful educating people on the topic of slavery. This monthly community event is growing and everyone is welcome to come and enjoy the food and get to know your neighbors.
