At 1 p.m. on Thursday we are hosting canvas and chardonnay class.

Bring your friends and enjoy some wine or beer as you follow our instructor step-by-step to recreate the afternoon’s featured painting. It’s stress-free and absolutely no experience is necessary. Everyone is an artist.

There will be a sample of the painting in the Mower County Senior Center lobby. Space is limited. Please sign up for this fun class ahead of time by stopping by the front desk or calling 507-433-2370.

Also, on Thursday, after the painting class at 2:30 p.m. the senior center is hosting Mary Holtorf’s 10 -week series called Lifelong Learning.

This is the second of the series. During each session you will explore areas of deep thinking and discuss the topics. Attend one of the series and you will dig deep into:

•The news,

•Life,

•Your strengths,

•The world,

•Ted talks and

•Success.

If this sounds like you or you have always enjoyed a good discussion please join us. There will be a free will donation for the series. Please sign up by stopping by the senior center front desk or by calling 507-433-2370.

Don’t forget our coffee shop where every day you can have homemade soup for $1 and a sandwich for 50 cents. Tuesday we are having tuna noodle hotdish for only $2.
