Background
On the second Thursday of each month Staff coordinates a Special Luncheon event. Each event includes
a hot meal and some form of entertainment that is related to the theme. The ability to produce creative yet
elegant decorations and appealing food menus may drive what theme is selected for a given month.
A recent survey of participants revealed that patrons enjoy attending the Special Luncheons and don't
mind paying the higher fee if some form of entertainment or special program is offered during event. In
order to keep up interest in the program and to attract new customers, Staff will be offering some new
themed events. In the past, the following themed luncheons have been held:
• New Year's Luncheon • Bon Voyage Cruise Luncheon
• Friendship Luncheon • Honoring Our Vets Luncheon
• Valentine's Luncheon • Polynesian Spirit Luncheon
• St. Patrick's Day Luncheon • Western Luncheon

The other special event program offered at the Senior Center is Crossing Cultures. These luncheons
feature a different country each time. Staff invites a speaker to share interesting facts and cultural
heritage. The featured country is the focus of the menu, which introduces participants to the tastes, herbs
and spices common to the country.
At the meeting Staff will ask the Advisory Committee Members to share possible themes for future
special events.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Advisory Committee receive the report and
provide input.
