Executive Director Jacqueline Welch invites the community to come out for a seafood meal, with 10 percent of the net proceeds going to the county’s senior programs and activities.
For a dollar, diners will also be able to spin a wheel for a chance of prizes, with a guaranteed win each time.
During the same time, starting at 6 p.m., the department will host its monthly senior supper club, “Alive After 55.”
The program is open to any senior who is looking for social support, friendship and “great food.”
Reservations for dinners are required at least 24 hours prior to the event so the venue can plan accordingly. Call 910-997-4491 to register.
