Welcome to Senior ServicesJanuary 2011It’s nice to see the New Year arrive. The Marlton Senior Club holiday party at Ventura’s was terrific. Great food, music and friends made for a festive good time. Dennis Shehan hosted several trips: Historic Evesham trip, Holiday Shop Around and the Festival of Lights. Thank you Dennis for all your wonderful ideas and enthusiasm! March 2, 2011, the trip to Peddler’s Village with the Murder Mystery Luncheon at the Cock n’ Bull restaurant will be our next adventure. Please RSVP by the end of January at the latest. Cost is $80. We have several new classes for the winter session.
