Are you itching to get ready for the holidays? Craft classes are starting up at the Senior Center, and the first project is one I am sure residents will love: the ever-popular and beautiful Winter Holiday Lantern.

The class is open to residents age 55+, and all necessary supplies are included. Extremely talented instructors will be on hand to provide step-by-step instructions. These classes tend to be very popular, and in order to keep class size to eight, there will be two dates this month: Wednesday Oct. 13 and Wednesday Oct. 27.

The class costs $25, and interested residents can sign up at the reception desk or by calling the Senior Center at 978-640-4480.

Don’t miss out: When friends and family ask where you bought this delightful decoration, you can say, “I MADE IT!”
