A Memorial Service was held for our members who passed away over the last several years. Director Kim read each name and gave a nice remembrance of that person. Joan then read some Bible Verses and after attendees offered some of their memories of their deceased family and friends.

We had a Cornhole Tournament!

Thanks to Fred for setting up and running the event. 16 players cheered each other on through the single elimination and a good time was had by all!

A Stroke Awareness program was presented by some of the staff from Encompass Rehab Hospital of York. There was a lot of important information . Thanks for coming down.

We were visited by State Representative Wendy Fink for "Coffee and Conversation". Representative Fink outlined her positions on several subjects and took questions on those and more.  Here she is seen speaking with Director Kim Maglaughlin and member Linda.

It sure looks like everyone here had fun making their pansy baskets! Thank you Cheryl for the photos

It's not all fun and games at the Delta Senior Center. Two of our volunteers, Joe and Cheryl, are shown helping staple the monthly calendar and menu sheets together for distribution.

Pickleball is more popular than ever. Here are some photos of the players in action.

March 14th or 3.14 is Pi or 𝞹 Day. Some of our members returned to the kitchen this year in honor of Pi day and baked some beautiful, and delicious, pies.

Erica Groom presented a "Sheep to Shawl" demonstration. She brought in wool from her sheep and the necessary tools to show how to convert the wool into yarn.

Stained Glass was the latest project. Karen from the White Owl Workshop brought pre-cut glass pieces, along with all the other supplies, to make one of three projects. This was a little trickier than most projects but was a lot of fun and everyone was very happy with their finished pieces.

One of the March crafts was decorating stools with mosaic chips. Karen from the White Owl Workshop lead the craft and kindly provided all materials.

Our members have started playing a new card game called 500. It is not the 500 Rummy you may think but a totally different game. Stop in and give it a try.

On Valentine's Day a few employees of Excelon came to the center and provided breakfast for our members. There was also a talented young man playing music. It was a very nice, well attended, event.

Thank you Excelon and your kind employees.

Erika Groom stopped by the Senior Center and gave a demonstration of Needle Felting. It is an interesting process for using a barbed needle to force yarn through a base to create 2 or 3 dimensional art

World War II veteran Bob Kemp gave a presentation at the Delta Senior Center about his personal experiences serving in the U.S. Navy in the Atlantic, Mediterranean, and Pacific Theaters. His presentation was interesting, informative, and sometimes emotional. Thank you for your service Bob.

The Theatre Arts For Everyone troupe came to the Senior Center and performed their play "Mystery at Senior Manor". Over 60 members of the Delta Senior Center were in attendance to appreciate the show

If you are a member of the Delta Senior Center and would like to give bowling a try feel free to join this group of regular bowlers. We bowl on Fridays at 1 PM at the Lion Bowling Center in Red Lion. It costs $7.50 for 3 games with shoe rental included. It's a "No Judgement Zone" so we don't care if someone gets 2 pins or 200. We're there for some fun and a little exercise.

This year's annual Christmas party attendees were filled with the Christmas spirit while playing Bingo, being entertained by puppeteer Jack Foreaker, and having a nice turkey lunch. Many thanks to Excelon for footing the bill for the party and Klein's ShopRite for supplying the Danishes. Many thanks also to everyone who helped set-up, helped in the kitchen, and our Elf Cameron Ingool, who stopped by from Model A Fitness

The Delta Senior Center Book Club enjoyed tea at the Tea Trolley for their December meeting.  MANY thanks and blessings  to the anonymous benefactor who paid for our wonderful tea.

Here are the nice little results of an early December craft. Our members were making Angels!

Even on a rainy day the Annual Christmas Fair was filled with people coming to shop at the dozens of vendors, bid on the many Silent Auction displays, and take chances on the Basket Raffles. Thanks to all who took part. Also, our special thanks to our many sponsors, those who donated items for the baskets and auctions, and the many volunteers who helped with the event

The theme for the November 28th Tea Party was Everything Pumpkin Food. The goodies included Pumpkin Cookies and Pumpkin Mini-Cheesecakes. Of course, being a tea, there were some nice hats!

The assembly line of ladies preparing lunches. The faces may occasionally change but the spirit is always the same

Karen from the White Owl Workshop came by to lead the flip side of an earlier craft project. The planks that were painted for Halloween were "flipped over" and painted with Snowmen offering "Warm Winter Wishes"

The Craft with Sabrina this month was making Thanksgiving garden flags. No two were the same!

Here is a line up of this month's flower arrangements along with some other crafts made at Delta Senior Center

Carole led this craft project to make Scarecrow luminaries

On Tuesday October 25th members of the Delta Senior Center took a "Field Trip" and visited the Fiore Winery for some wine tasting and good conversation.

Karen from the White Owl Workshop came to the Delta Senior Center with another craft project. She provided some nice planks that were painted with a Halloween theme.

The Craft With Sabrina this month was a two part craft. First some cement was mixed and everyone filled nylon stockings with the mix, wrapped rubber bands around them, and made pumpkins. Small forms were made from 2 liter bottles and filled with cement as well. The next week these were stripped and painted as pumpkins, frogs, and one flower for good measure.

Decoupage was the craft this time. What started as plain glass jars ended up as nicely decorated holders for a small electric light. A nice little nick-knack for Valentine's Day

Our members volunteered their time in March to string beads and make "Bracelets for Ben's Wish". The bracelets become part of a kit donated to parents who have lost a small child to help ease their loss. Thank you for your kindness in helping with this worthwhile project.

An all day "Sew Day" was organized by Mary, who as you can see was "pressed" into extra duty. The Sew For Vets group was making items to give the Vets at one of the local Veteran Homes and another part of the day was spent making sewing machine mats, which makes the work easier for those doing the sewing.

The Block of the Month is a quilting project where every month a different block of a quilt is made. The photo below is an example of what the finished quilts will resemble. The finished quilts will vary depending on the fabrics and designs each quilters chooses. We will try to update this section as the project progresses.

Fittingly, January's craft was a Snowman. These were a different style than December's.

Pickleball is a very active sport enjoyed at the Delta Senior Center. I apologize if some of the photos are blurry but this is a very robust activity and the participants are moving a lot! Imagine indoor tennis with a heavy Wiffle ball and wood paddles and you have Pickleball.

The folks you see below are taking part in the Jigsaw Puzzle Challenge. It's one of the quicker activities but loads of fun. Each player gets 10 puzzle pieces to put together, then, when they are done, they are allowed to put their finished set in the middle and help others in their group to finish the full puzzle. I think this was a tie!
