April LuncheonThe Sounds of Jim McBride

Thursday, April 12 11:30 a.m.

Our luncheons are back! Raffel’s Catering will be providing delectable box lunches filled with tasty wrap sandwiches, tomato tortellini salad, fresh fruit salad, chips and two Soft Batch cookies. You have a choice of wrap sandwich: Turkey Club Wrap, Ham and Swiss Wrap or Vegetarian Wrap. Full descriptions are available at the front desk.

The entertainment for this Springtime luncheon is Jim McBride. Jim is best described as a “One Man Band” playing jazz instrumentals on sax, flute, Celtic tin whistle and keyboard. He also performs traditional Celtic tin whistle tunes and sings standards from the Great American Songbook. A great performer and definitely one you do not want to miss!

Cost for this luncheon is $8.50 for members and $11 for guests. Please register with payment by Wednesday, April 4th. You must also select your choice of sandwich at that time. Stop by the front desk or call 346-3910 with questions.

The Golden Age of Carousel Art

A FREE Art Class!Thursday, March 29 2:00 p.m.

Artist and Instructor Cheryl Pannabecker returns to the SCC with a fun class about Carousel Art. Merry-Go-Rounds have been around for many centuries. American artisans took Carousel Art to a whole new level in the late 1800s.

The class will look at pictures of some beautiful and whimsical creations. Properly inspired, they will then assemble their own carousel animals. While horses are quite common now, whole menageries of animals are used to make up the merry-go-round entourage. Artists can choose which beast to work with. Participants will be using mixed media to create these colorful 3D creatures.

There is a 15 person maximum for this fun class. Call 346-3910 or stop by the front desk to register.
