Get up, get dressed, and get going by participating in our VJCC Senior Nutrition “Fun Fridays,” which include:

​​

Bingo every Friday at 10:15 a.m., giving away a variety of prizes with weekly freebies – nobody goes away empty handed!

​

Cake Day – the third Friday of each month – celebrates all our friends with birthdays that month.  The cakes are as great as the guests they honor!​

 

You must be a VJCC member to participate in the above programs.  â€‹We strongly encourage everyone to sign up to participate in the Meals Program.  Please note that you must be both a VJCC member and a participant in the Senior Meals Program in order to attend the Senior Nutrition Holiday Party.
