 The
Senior Press
by Nancy (Punky) Drawe
 Happy
New Year everyone! I
hope 2010 has been good to you so far, now that we’re
already in the middle of January. The cold air and snowy days don’t seem to keep people
away from the Senior Center, and the reason for that is
because the center always has something special to offer, no
matter what the weather is like outside. Remember though, when the Hopkinton Public Schools are
closed, the center is also closed.
 This morning, State Representative
Carolyn Dykema was on hand for a round table (rectangle table)
discussion with the seniors. Some of the topics people were interested in were the
rising costs of health care, soaring gas prices, the sales tax
increase and senior transportation. Carolyn recognized that transportation is a big problem
for seniors, especially those who don’t live near town where
they can pick up the MWRTA bus. She will be
working on trying to solve that problem and said “I’ll be
taking that issue with me!”
Beach Blanket Bingo! The thought of a beach day should warm you up a bit. On Friday, January 22, the center will be hosting a
“BEACH DAY. The
festivities start at 11 am with some all time favorite games
of Chair Volleyball and horseshoes. After that, a nice summer menu of hamburgers and hot
dogs will be served for lunch in the Great Room (dining room
will be closed). It’s
a nice way to break up the January doldrums, and all that for
only $4.00. Now
another thing…if you have a cool summer/Hawaiian shirt, wear
that to add to the warm atmosphere! Call ahead to make your reservations.
Don’t forget to VOTE for a new
Massachusetts Senator! Vote
on Tuesday, January 19 at the Hopkinton Middle School. Polls will be
open from 7 am to 8 pm. I
hope to see you there!
That’s it for this issue, so if you

future columns, feel free to leave a message at the Center, or

to set aside some time to enjoy your Senior Center.
