Mission Statement - Seward Senior · 02.03.2020 · Tricia Clemens Charlie Finn Dieter Fuchs...

From the desk of the Director:

Whew! We all survived and thrived during our

construction closure, now we welcome folks back

to a fresh and fun senior center. We leave behind

ways of doing business that are archaic and

duplicated. Provide recognition of honor by

providing consumers with privacy and a

confidential space. The new interior design that

draws one in, to be surrounded by beauty,

embraced with the warm and kind Seward culture.

I would like to thank all our staff; Robert, Marie

and Christine for working tirelessly between two

facilities; navigating relocated office space, in

search of documents; and working outside of

routine, which was overwhelming on some days.

Our hats are tipped to all the volunteers who came

forward to assist in the move, paint, repurpose,

hang artwork, provide treats at lunch and move

again. Thank you all for your commitment to the

positive growth of our community! You add

strength to our integrity, so we might serve the

greater good of the senior community.

Please join us to celebrate our successes, on

Wednesday, March 4th from 1:00pm to 4:00pm, for

a community open house.

Healthy Shamrock Shake

Ingredients

• 1 overripe large frozen banana

• chocolate chips, as desired

• ¼ tsp peppermint extract

• 1 cup milk of choice

• ¼ cup frozen spinach

• 1/8 tsp salt to bring out flavor

Instructions

Feel free to use your favorite milk of choice. Canned

coconut milk will give it a rich milkshake-like taste,

but I also really love the lighter results of using

cashew milk or almond milk. To make the shake:

blend all ingredients in a blender until completely

smooth. Make sure the banana you use is at least

somewhat brown, so you don’t get that unripe

earthy banana flavor in your mint chocolate shake!

You can add the chocolate chips either before or

after blending.
