The Senior Luncheons are held on the third Thursday of the month from October through May – most are held at the Union Chapel unless otherwise noted. Enjoy a delicious home cooked meal, monthly door prize/raffle, seasonal table settings, and interesting conversation.

The 2017-2018 is over, so enjoy the photos and join us Thursday, October 18 for the 1st of the 2018-2019 season of Senior Luncheons.
