The Carl Gibson Senior Center is ramping up their Autumn options. Here’s a limited schedule of what they’re offering – among their day-to-day options –
between now and mid-November.
The Carl Gipson Senior Center is in full swing this fall with good food, an iconic pop dinner and a big-band celebration. The public is welcome to OkotoberFEAST
on Oct. 6, a Beatles tribute dinner concert on Oct. 20, and the 13th Annual Veterans Day USO Dance on Nov. 11.
“The fall events are a great time for our senior community to come together,” says Eric Wollan, project coordinator for the center. “We’ve also got an
opportunity for guests of all ages to join in the fun with the Beatles tribute show and dinner.”
OktoberFEAST

Here comes the fun: Beatles Tribute Show & Dinner
Saturday, Oct. 20, 5:30-9 p.m.
Lend your ears to The Fab Three for two hours of iconic Beatles songs played in tribute to the heart, soul and musicianship of John, Paul, George and Ringo.

whimsy.

enjoy honorary ceremonies, refreshments and the live, 16-piece band.
