SHASS activities get in the "spring" of things

It's great to have spring in the air. It makes you want to clean out the winter cobwebs in the house or get outside and weed the garden or just take long walks.

Staff here at South Haven Area Senior Services (SHASS) are in high gear planning spring time events.

The big March event is the upcoming Irish Festival that takes place on Thursday, March 16 at the Warren Senior Center, 540 Williams St.
Entertainment provided by Biddy Murphy begins at 9:30 a.m., then Bingo at 10:30 and then the delicious culminating event a noon lunch comprising corned beef or pork roast, cabbage, carrots, potatoes, onions, rye bread, dessert, punch and coffee, all for $3.00. The homemade meal is being prepared by SHASS staff. So, if you can't make any of the other events, don't miss the meal.

April 21 is the date of the next English Tea, which will celebrate Easter and the beauty of spring. This fun event is held at the Warren Senior Center. Call Sonja at (269) 637-3607 for more information.

The senior variety show had originally been scheduled to take place in May, but we have moved the date to Friday, Sept. 15 to give us more time to plan one extravaganza show. Stay tuned for more details.

Spring cleaning took place at our gift shop at the Warren Senior Center. Not only did the shop get an overhaul but the name was changed from SHASS Gift Shop to Senior Hearts Gift Shop. All proceeds from sales at the gift shop benefit Senior Services. Sonja who organizes the shop says that donations of items to sell at the shop are always needed. Especially popular items are antique jewelry, pottery, teapots and accessories. Call Sonja at 637-3607 for more information. Hours are Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

If you're interested in dancing "on line" the South Haven Area Line Dancers meet at 1 p.m. at the Warren Senior Center the first and third Tuesdays of each month. Come join in the fun. No registration necessary.

On a crafty note, the Quilting Club meets on the first and third Thursdays of the month from 1-3 p.m. at the Warren Senior Center. Bring your own project to work on.

Our fitness program is in full swing. Call Mary at 637-3607 for details on joining this fun program that also involves nutrition tips.

SHASS appreciates all of its volunteers and will hold a special lucheon honoring them on April 18. Call Sonja at 637-3607 for more details.

Enjoy!
