Activity-Newcomer and Alumni
January is a special month as we are teaming with the Dining Out Activities Team to provide a unique experience on January 26 with dinner at 5:30 at the Salt Water Grill in River Bend as well as an opportunity to make your own candle. Join us for a wonderful evening supporting the Bike Box Project, a charity which raises awareness for Parkinson's disease, so you can enjoy a great night out while supporting a great cause. In fact, $10 goes directly to the charity and is tax deductible. Tickets can be purchased directly from www.bellaskygifts.com. When you buy your tickets make sure you let them know you are from Newcomers or Alumni Group of Newcomers so that we can be seated together.
There are currently 30 seats left so RSVP ASAP

What a great day at the New Bern Senior Center learning to make our wet felted flowers. Friends were made and flowers were felted with all supplies and tools taken home for additional projects. We want to meet again soon to share our completed work as well as start on a more advanced project. Several attendees had ideas for other crafts so check our Newcomers Crafting page for future events. Our flowers are “Mahvelous, Darling”.
In February, we will be making cookies with a cookie decorating class.
