 Hi:

Your Panther Creek Senior and Community Center has plans for the rest of 2024.  Mark your calendar so you don't miss out on anything.

Our February breakfast will take place on Sunday, the 4th from 8-11.  Breakfast will consist of eggs any way you want them including omelets, hash brown potatoes, ham slice or sausage patty, pancakes, French toast, biscuits and gravy, dessert plus hot coffee, tea or chocolate and lots of camaraderie.  The cost for all of this great food is only $8.00 for adults or $4.00 for children under 12.   

During breakfast our gift shop will be open and is filled with some wonderful donated items.  There will be lots of books, some tools, jigsaw puzzles and attractive glassware, jewelry, zillions of CD's and DVD's and more.  Don't forget to stop by.  If you do not want breakfast you may still come in to shop.  We will be accepting donations whenever we're open, but, if you cannot get your donations to us, just send me an email (pcsacc@centurylink.net) and I'll make arrangements to either pick them up at your location or meet you at the community center at your convenience.

Our annual Sweetheart spaghetti dinner will be held on Saturday, February 10th from 4:00 until 6:00 or when we run out of food.  The cost, as usual, will be $8.00 for adults and $4.00 for children.  Our gift shop will be open during dinner.

We will hold our annual Corned Beef and Cabbage dinner on Saturday, March 16th from 4:00 until 6:00 or when we run out of food.  Come early for this delicious meal as it is our most popular.

We are planning a bazaar for the weekend of April 20-21 in conjunction with the great Oregon Coast garage sale.  We will have ten tables available for vendors, two of which have already been reserved.  If you would like to reserve a 6' or 8' table or have any questions call Irene at 541-961-5242.  The cost for vendors is $10 per table for both days.  We will open at 4:00 PM on Friday, the 19th, for early set up.  Otherwise, we will open on Saturday at 7:00 AM for set up and open for business at 9:00.  Lunch will be available for all from 11:00 until 2:00. 

There will be additions to this schedule.  Special breakfasts for Mother's Day and Father's Day are planned.  Watch this space for more information or send an email to pcsacc@centurylink.net to be on our email list so you will always be up to date.
