NEW BRIEFS Emergency need for blood donors REGION - Blood drives will soon be held in Ware, Warren and West Brookfi eld. The Ware Senior Center holds a blood drive the fi rst Wednesday of every month between 1 and 6 p.m. The American Red Cross has an emergency need for blood and platelet donors of all blood types. In June, blood donations were down more than 10 percent across the country, with 50,000 fewer pints of blood than expected. There is almost half the amount of readily available blood in the Red Cross inventory than there was this time last year. Blood donations typically decline during the summer months because blood donors are busy with seasonal activities and overlook giving. Just a few more people at each drive could boost the available supply for patients all summer long. All American Red Cross blood donors throughout July will receive a voucher for a free carton of Friendly’s Ice Cream plus register to win a pair of Red Sox tickets as a blood donor of the game. Appointments are preferred, however walk-ins are always welcome. For more information, call 800-RED CROSS or visit www.RedCrosBlood.org. Dream Big!

There are several upcoming events at the senior center, and they don’t always cater only to seniors. In fact, earlier this week the center held a swing and ballroom dance that was open to the public and featured dance lessons and open dancing to Premier Swing, an eight piece jazz combo playing popular ballroom dance tunes such as Single and Triple Swing, Tango, Waltz, Cha Cha and Rumba, all played at proper dance tempos. Senior Center Director Melissa Beauchemin said it is her goal to make the senior center less of a “senior-only center.” “I am trying to incorporate younger generations as well,” she said. “I just think, why exclude anybody? If it’s going to be entertaining, why not?” Beauchemin said she is also making it a goal to have more programming at night. “Some boomers still work,” she said. “We have line dancing in the afternoon and Zumba Gold at night. I am trying to incorporate more of different age groups.” Beauchemin said she would love to ideas from people about what they’d like to see at the center – either during the day or at night. “Anything that comes along, I’ll try it if I think it will appeal to somebody and if it is within reason,” she said. Coming up Wednesday, July 25 at 1 p.m. is a talent show and anyone, regardless of age, can perform their talent. “We’ve never done it before,” Beauchemin said. Beauchemin said the idea for the show came to her one morning when people were in the center having coffee and chitchatting. It was then she learned that one of her seniors is actually a rapping granny. “I said, ‘We’d love to see it,’” Beauchemin said. “’Why don’t we have a talent show?’” Then, she decided to open the show up to the general public.

North Brookfi eld, MA 508-867-8012 • Prime summer weeks available “There is a tremendous amount of talent around here we don’t know about,” Beauchemin said. There are fi ve acts total already, including the rapping granny and a harmonica player. There will be a rehearsal/run through Friday, June 20. To sign up an act, call 508-347-7575. Also coming up is the annual Friends of the Senior Center Yard Sale, which will take place Saturday, Aug. 4 at 9 a.m. The rain date is Saturday, Aug. 11. This event is a major Friends fundraiser. Hot dogs and soda will be sold at the yard sale and there will be a large bake sale as well. Baked goods are always appreciated as a donation. Baked goods should be individually wrapped with the ingredients listed as per Board of Health department guidelines. Items for the bake sale may be brought to the senior center Friday, Aug. 3 before 4 p.m. Donations from those who would like to contribute, but don’t like to bake, are also welcome. One new program that continues to be smashing success is the Gourmet Grannies, the cable television cooking show. “The premise is to pass one’s skills from one generation to another,” Beauchemin said. And it’s working. In fact, Beauchemin has had phone calls from several younger members of the community asking questions about recipes they saw on shows or asking if a presenter can help them make a recipe. “The seniors are really, really thrilled,” she said. “It’s a resource; they can be resources to younger people.” For more information on any of these programs, call 508-347-7575.
