Middletown >> The Middletown Senior Center hosted a cordon bleu dinner and silent auction recently.
Executive director Lori Tourville welcomed guests young and old to the sold-out fundraiser while hors d’oeuvres were served prior to the cordon bleu dinner. Volunteer DJ Bob Krug played dinner music and some after dinner dance tunes.
The evening netted $1,900 toward Meals on Wheels. Funds raised from this type of event fill out the subsidy received for the program, which delivers balanced nourishing meals each day to home-bound seniors (60 years and older).
Middletown delivers more than 800 meals per month to housebound seniors in Hidden Valley, Middletown and Cobb. Although partial funding comes from the Area Agency on Aging and the Redbud Healthcare District, subsidization from the community in the amount of about $28,000 per year is required to fully fund this program.
Middletown Senior Center is located at 21256 Washington St. For more information about center activities and menus, call 987-3113 or go to the center’s website: middletownseniorcenter.org or its Facebook page, Middletown CA Senior Center.
