The parade will start promptly at 10:30 a.m. 2) With regard to the special senior lunch program, he met with the Senior Center Advisory Council and they indicated that they are enthusiastic about it and suggested we go forward. Due to concerns that were expressed by the senior citizen community, many hours of discussion and research considering and concerning the senior lunch program have taken place over the last several months. The Inn at Olmsted Manor has a chef and staff on site. They have made a proposal to come into our Senior Center's kitchen and prepare a home cooked meal one day each week. With the assistance of our volunteers, the food will be set up in a buffet style in the Senior Center lunch activities room to be plated up and served to the seniors in attendance. A maximum of about 90 people can be handled. These home cooked meals will be nutritious, hot and in the atmosphere that the seniors desire in their own Senior Center. The Inn at Olmsted Manor is offering our North Olmsted Senior Center a complimentary lunch which will be served at noon on August 3. Any senior who wants to participate in the complimentary lunch should call Marlene Telegdy to make a reservation. Reservations will be cut off at approximately 90 individuals. If the Senior Center Advisory Council receives good feedback and agrees, the special senior lunch program would be continued at a cost of $3.75 per person. This cost is all-inclusive and includes Solo plates, eating utensils, napkins and condiments. This special senior lunch program is in addition to the weekly Thursday lunch program, and it is not intended to be a replacement. As everyone is aware, the Thursday lunch program has an extended time period for entertainment and other activities.
