At the Senior Center this week: cooking, painting, and a cookbook from America's first kitchen

The Senior Center's week starts in the kitchen. "Sweet Indulgences," a cooking session, runs today, Tuesday, November 10, at 10:30 a.m. at the center, 100 Pocono Road.

Thursday, November 12, has two programs: Winter Holiday Painting at 10 a.m., a seasonal craft session, and "America's First Cookbook" at 1 p.m., a look at the cooking of the early republic and the dishes that came out of America's first kitchens.

Looking ahead, the center's Lunch and Learn with Brookfield's Municipal Agent is Monday, November 16, at noon, and sign-ups close Thursday, November 12. The Municipal Agent is the town's point of contact for older residents who need help with benefits, programs, and services, so the session is a chance to ask questions one on one. Meditation follows on Tuesday, November 17, at 10:30 a.m., with a $5 fee.

The center is closed Thursday, November 26, for Thanksgiving. For program details or to sign up, call the Senior Center at 203-775-5308. The center sits at 100 Pocono Road, next to Town Hall.
