Hello Friends,

I have a few things I’d like to let you know about…

Several months ago I put out the call to members to contact former office manager, Susan Shisler, if

they would be interested in sharing “their story” to be included in an anthology of stories of Senior

Center members. Well…after months of work - collecting, writing, editing and re-editing, the book

has been published. Reflections is a wonderful assortment of stories from twenty two of our Senior

Center members. We have some amazing members! On the evening of Wednesday, August 5th,

Susan, along with those members, will be here to talk more about their stories and how Reflections

came to be . All are invited!

The Cheektowaga Senior Center has invited our members with members of other Senior Centers to

join them for a great night out on the town, full of fun and music, on Tuesday, September 5th 5pm –

8pm. Taking place at the Millennium Hotel (2040 Walden Ave., Cheektowaga), the evening will start

with a family-style meal. Following dinner, BEATLEMAGIC will recreate the aura and sound of the

Fab Four through numerous phases of the Beatles’ phenomenal career. Price is $36/person. Dead-

line to reserve tickets is Monday, August 31st. Call the Cheektowaga Senior Center office at 689-3930

for tickets.

Don’t miss our Community Day and Open House on Friday, August 28th from 3pm to 8pm. Invite

your friends and family. Activities are scheduled for children, The Buffalo Dolls will entertain, and

everyone can enjoy a complementary hot dog, chips and beverage. Let’s show our community what

an active and vibrant place the Clarence Senior Center is!

Have a great month,

Karla
