A Message

From The Director

Greetings!

Happy Valentine’s Month! Thanks to those of you who have already

renewed your 2014 memberships! We look forward to serving you for another year.

Thos who have not had the chance yet, we strongly encourage you to do so as soon as

it is possible for you. This month we’ll host a Valentines / Birthday Party on

Wednesday, Feb. 19th with our famous 20 foot Banana Split and entertainment.

Also, be sure to come try your luck at our annual “Monte Carlo Casino Night” on

Friday, February 21st. And….last but not least, don’t forget to put Saturday March

22nd on your calendars and plan to attend our annual “Dinner Auction” our largest

fundraiser each year. This year we will return to the beautiful “Pavilion Room” at

Northern Quest Casino in Airway Heights with featured entertainment and Special

Guest Leslie Lowe of KHQ—TV. If you can help with any New items for this year’s

auction, we welcome your donations! Contact our office or President Darline Divine

at 483-8290. Great overnight tours for 2014 are now out with fun destinations. So,

reserve your spot with a deposit as these trips fill up fast! Lastly, I want to thank the

many of you who have personally welcomed me back full time to HSC. It is good to

be “home” again every day! Best Wishes for a Great Month of February! Jerry ☺

$5.00 Suggested Donation at the door, everyone wins a prize!

It’s time for our annual Dinner/Auction, and again it

requires a lot of help from our entire membership. Our

goal of 200 silent auction items and 300 tickets sold is

a big challenge, but one that I believe we can achieve.

It is the main fundraiser we do each year and a big

part of how we pay operational expenses that support

many of your programs. Please consider helping by

donating a silent auction item, buying a ticket to the

event, or simply making a cash donation! Show your

support by helping in whatever way you can!

Thank You ! Darline

“Pirate Party”

Doug & Diane Gronning

From the Activity Desk:

I saw less activity in January at the center, I hope to see many of

you back this month! February and March are active months at the

center. Staff and volunteers are busy bees working hard to ensure

our Dinner Auction is a success. If you’d like to help us, you can

support the Dinner Auction in a couple of different ways. One, you

could purchase a ticket and attend, if you can’t attend the event you

can donate a new item for our silent auction or donate money. If you are unable to con-

tribute financially we need volunteers to help in different areas. Let us know now if

you’re interested in volunteering to help with the Dinner Auction. Like they say it takes

a village to raise a child, it takes all of our members to keep HSC running! Mark your

calendar with our Valentine Birthday Party on January 19th, our entertainment will be the

Senior Serenaders and we’ll be building our famous 20 foot banana split! Also join us

for Monte Carlo Night on Friday February, 21st.

See you soon! Sarah

Hillyard Senior Center’s trip and tour policy for travel. The policy is to establish

voluntary participation and assure fair and equal access to sign up for any and all future trips and tours.

Our travel policy will incorporate

call in, mail in, and walk in

reservations. The center will utilize a first pay, first go, method for registration. Phone and walk in

reservations DO NOT guarantee a spot on a trip. Participants who call in and request to be signed up on a

trip but are unpaid are simply considered to be on an interest list.

When participant’s money has been received and a receipt has been issued, then and only then is a

person considered to be a registered participant of the trip and

their spot guaranteed.

Interest sign ups and paid

registration will be done at the

Hillyard Senior Center office (4001 N. Cook 482-0803). Sign up for all

trips will be taken at 8:30 am on the 1st working day following the receipt of the newsletter. (sorry we

cannot control the order in which everyone receives their mail).

Participants living outside of the

normal van pickup boundaries (North to Weile, East to Freya, West

to Division, and South to Indiana) will be considered for a trip home pick-up on a individual basis

depending on the location of the trip’s destination.

Non members of the Hillyard Senior

Center will be allowed to participate in one trip prior to becoming a

member.

Hillyard Senior Center will no longer

refund participants for cancellations of day trips or tours. However, if a cancellation is made at least 5

working days prior to the trip, a credit will be issued for the use of a

trip at a later date. NON-Refundable Deposits apply to overnight tours.

Individuals requesting a home pick-

up should add an additional $3.00 to the trip advertised price.

Registration and participation in a

travel trip is considered a voluntary acceptance of liability and shall not

hold HSC responsible for any participants own negligence.
