This month we’d like to give thanks to a familiar face, but one you might not know of in relation to the Highland Senior Center. Charles Roberts is the former editor of the Highland Community News, where he was a big supporter of the Highland Senior Center and would often visit the center to cover our events and activities. However when he retired at the end of 2017, he continued to support our center, but in a different capacity. Before retiring, he asked Jeff, the Outreach Director if we could use some volunteers, as he did not want to become bored. Well, he asked the right person, as he was immediately made a Transportation Assistance Program (TAP) driver. He volunteers to drive just about every weekday, and sometimes on weekends as well. Yet his helping us out doesn’t stop there. He also helps out in our Food Program, three days a weeks. He sorts outs the food we bring in and then helps us to pass it out to our seniors. We would also like to thank his wife, Myrna, who gives him time off from his retirement Honey Do list to help us out.

Description: Are you a picky person? Are you named Peter Piper? If so, the Highland Senior Center has a new group that might be right up your alley. A group of singers, players, and strummers have formed the Highland Pickers Strummers and Singers. The club meets weekly at the Highland Senior Center on Wednesdays from 11 am to noon. They will hold additional jam sessions and club meetings at various locations to learn new songs or make plans for concerts. The objective of the club is to learn basic music theory, and then to apply it on the ukulele and other instruments, and we do mean other instruments. These have included kazoos, washboards, and pots and pans! Members will also develop their musical skills, either to perform solos or in ensembles. So if you've always wanted to learn to make music, pass on some musical knowledge, or just enjoy strumming strings, come on down to the center.
