With fall and the beginning of school comes the start of many of SOSA’s programs and activities. One of our first on the calendar is providing food and help for Ledyard Senior Center’s picnic on Wednesday, September 8. Ledyard Senior Center has a club that meets every Wednesday and pays $4 per person to outside organizations, such as SOSA, to provide lunch for the meeting. SOSA has been providing lunch to them for several years with this becoming one of our main fundraisers. That being said, we are looking for someone willing to coordinate the lunches this year for SOSA and LSC abiding by the new guidelines that all food must be prepared and cooked on-site. There are still plenty of possibilities with soup and salad being a favorite during the cooler months.

The picnic on September 8th is held at Bethel Park so the new restrictions do not apply and we may prepare food items in our homes. Please let Jen Roberts know if you would be able to provide food or help with set-up and clean-up. Recipes for the pasta salad, baked beans and congo bars are linked.

Thank you so much for your help with this FUNdraiser! Please let me know if you have any questions or would like more information on Chairing this project this year.

If you would like to help out please contact Sue or Shelley Thank you to all of our wonderful volunteers!!!

Other Ledyard Senior Center Dates: February 17 – Ash Wednesday, March 10, and June 2.

I know it seems like just last week were making, baking and serving at the Ledyard Senior Center and we were!!! However, we are on their calendar for December 2, 2009 (next Wednesday) and since there is not a SOSA meeting before then we are asking for volunteers via email.
Please note there is a time change for this luncheon we will begin serving at 1pm. Please plan on dropping off items by 11:30am.

• The Main Dish will be Turkey Tetrazzini and we need seven made
• Six loaves of French Bread
• Dessert will be a Pumpkin Spice Cake with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting and we will need seven of these made as well.
• In addition to myself and Sue we will also need four additional kitchen helpers!!! 
• Please plan on arriving at 11:30am (it is a bit later due to a time change for lunch)
• Using disposable dishes that we don’t have to clean and return is a huge help!

Please email Shelley Cramer below to volunteer your time and service!

Mark your calendars with the rest of SOSA’s Ledyard Senior Center lunch dates:

• January 13
• February 3
• February 17
• March 10
• June 2

The forecast for Wednesday, 9 September calls for rain so the picnic for the Ledyard seniors has been moved to the Ledyard Senior Center on Van Tassel Drive (off Route 12 in Ledyard).

If you are planning to help or donate please come to the Ledyard Senior Center instead of Bethel Park.

We are still in need of volunteers to bring potato salad (recipe of your choice) and peach cake (recipe attached). Please let us know if you are able to provide either for us.

Food needs to be brought to the Ledyard Senior Center by 11:00 am on Wednesday. If you are unable to bring your food item to the park, Kendra Sammur lives in Navy housing and has graciously offered to be a drop off point. Please contact Kendra to arrange a mutually agreeable time to meet.
