A place for friends, fun and food

March 31, 2020 By Christine Holtzman

Normally, the county’s senior centers are places for gathering, and having fun and food. Concerns about the potential spread of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) have caused a temporary halt to these activities, but we recently dropped in to the senior center on the grounds of St. Elizabeth’s Episcopal Church in Zephyrhills, before the threat of pandemic cast its shadow over daily activities. The Zephyrhills Senior Center, 5855 16th St., normally is an encouraging place where seniors can participate in a variety of enrichment activities that promote health, vitality, recreation and creativity. Other senior centers in The Laker/Lutz News coverage area are located in Dade City and Land O’ Lakes. Please check the county’s website to find out when activities will resume.

New River Branch Library customer service specialist Caille Branscombe, left, and Vera Greenwood, of Zephyrhills, both do a wall hanging craft, using old DVDs and yarn. The library employee, along with her co-worker Laura Covillon, were at the Zephyrhills Senior Center last month for one of the library’s weekly outreach programs. Such programs have been temporarily halted because of concerns about the potential spread of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19). (Christine Holtzman)
Trying to keep his winning streak from the previous day alive, Mike Sims, of Zephyrhills, uses his hand to slide the puck to the opposite end of the tabletop shuffleboard, in order to score points. He is playing against his friend and frequent opponent, Joe Harvey, who is currently winning this round. The men both said that they come to the Zephyrhills Senior Center and play this game every day.
Holding a bunny made by finger knitting yarn, Linda St. Onge, left, and her friend Mary King, who is holding a macramé tree of life, admire some of the projects that the New River Branch Library’s outreach program was providing at the Zephyrhills Senior Center on that day. The ladies are both from Zephyrhills and say that they attend the center almost every day to play games, do activities and see friends.
