Dinner will be catered by Brookhaven (New Year’s party caterer) and begins at 5:30 p.m. The menu consists of meatloaf or roast chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, glazed carrots, roll, homemade chocolate chip cookies or brownies. In addition, cole slaw will be provided by Wright Nursing & Rehab. Tickets cost $10 each and will be sold March 4 through April 8. Entertainment will feature Spittin’ Image, twin brothers who provide music, comedy, skits, and lots of fun! Once again, they are back by popular demand. Seating limited to 115; tickets go fast so don’t delay!

Wait list: names will not be placed on the wait list until all of the tickets are sold. Kitchen crew: if you would like to help at the socials, please sign the clipboard on the counter by the microwave. If you have any questions about what is involved, please call Deb at 667-8523. BAZAAR & INDOOR GARAGE SALE The Ways & Means Committee will try something new in April and hold a combination bazaar and garage sale. This event will be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, April 24. A lunch will also be served during this time and we will be asking for donations of food. We will be selling rental tables to vendors and/or members who make items or have gently used items they want to sell to earn a profit. Rental cost is $20 for an 8 foot table, $15 for a 6 foot table, and $10 for a card table. Members will have first choice until March 1. Please call Treva at 233-2279 if you are interested in renting a table. The senior center will set up its own garage sale table so if you have one or two nice items that you would like to donate, please call Treva at 233-2279. Since space for these donated items is limited, you will be asked to take your items home if they are not considered to be strong sellers. Vendors may set up from 8:30-10 a.m. on Saturday or the Friday before from 1:30-3 p.m. (must be finished by 3 p.m. sharp). Treva Couturier, Ways & Means Chair MEETINGS The Board of Trustees will meet at 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday, March 3 and 31. The General Membership meeting will be held at 12:30 p.m. on March 5. Voting will take place for a new wall-mounted television for the new section. ALZHEIMER’S PRESENTATION Patricia Roby with the Alzheimer’s Association will provide information on the basics of Alzheimer’s and what to expect as the disease progresses. The presentation will take place in the new section at 1 p.m. on Tuesday, March 9. Open to seniors in the community. HOMESTEAD ENROLLMENT Homeowners who turn 65 this year and those permanently disabled are eligible for the Homestead program. The deadline is June 7; applications are available by calling 225-4341 or you can pick one up at the senior center. There are no longer any income requirements but new recipients must sign up. Homeowners already enrolled do not need to reapply. Qualified applicants who missed last year’s deadline may also sign up and still get a reduction on last year’s taxes, as well as this year’s. Current homestead recipients do not need to reapply or do anything unless they have moved or had some change in their status. NEW SHIRT DESIGN We are offering our members the opportunity to purchase their choice of two very attractive shirts. Each has our own Huber Heights Senior Center logo embroidered on them. One is a long sleeve sport shirt and the other is a short sleeve polo shirt. We have ordered both shirts in a man’ s and a woman’s style and size, which will be displayed at our center. All shirts will be royal blue, which has become the unofficial color of our center. Please make a point of checking them out. These attractive shirts are from the Lands’ End Company and are similar to the ones sometimes worn by city employees. We hope you like them enough to add one or more to your wardrobe. What better way to display your pride in being a member of our center? TAX ASSISTANCE Free income tax preparation will be done on Wednesdays and Fridays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Call 233-9999 for an appointment. Evening appointments will be scheduled on March 3.

Federal and State returns will be e-filed. If requested, refunds can be done through direct deposit, which is faster and safer. Taxes for farms or businesses are not prepared.
