Senior Center cancels activities except for Dec. 17 community meal
Fudge and fruitcake
still available
Bluffton Senior Center has cancels all activities for December except for the community meal, according to Tonya Meyer, director. The announcement was made Friday morning.
"The governor has asked everyone who can to stay home and stay safe through the holidays," she said.
"We at the Bluffton Senior Center care about our members so we have canceled all activities through the end of the year with the exception of the community meal drive-thru on Thursday, Dec. 17.
The Senior Center is still open for shoppers, library material, exercise equipment uses and one-on-one activities.
Gethsemani Farms fudge and fruitcakes
To substitute the lost income from no holiday peanut brittle, the Center is partnering with Gethsemani Farms in Trappist, Kentucky, to offer fudge and fruitcakes.
Handmade in small batches since 1955 from the freshest ingredients, every morsel reflects their devotion to the Trappist rule Ora et Labora (prayer and work).
All of the fruitcake and some of the fudge has bourbon in the recipe as the Abbey is located in Kentucky Bourbon Country.
The half cakes sell for $21 and one pound of fudge sells for $20.50. There are four flavors of fudge:
• Chocolate walnut
• Kentucky bourbon butter walnut
• Kentucky bourbon chocolate pecan
• Mint julep chocolate bourbon fudge
The Center has a limited quantity of the product, but buying from the Center saves consumers on shipping costs.
The Bluffton Senior Center is open Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturdays in November and December 9 a.m. to noon.
