shows off the 144 Chocolate Roses
Amid a garden of 144 chocolate roses, the seniors and volunteers sat down to a lunch meal of sweet and sour meatballs. As the cook, Amy Raven said: love is either sour or sweet. On this Valentines day, it was definitely sweet, as each volunteer was awarded a chocolate rose wrapped in red foil. The volunteers included, MCSC Advisory Committee members, Senior Services office helpers, Volunteer Drivers, Senior Lunch volunteers (from set-up to clean-up), Friends & Neighbors volunteers, Crafters, Special Events, Computers, Handyman, Landscaping/Plants Maintenance, Group Facilitator, MCSC Pancake Breakfast, Friends of MCSC, and others.

Wendy Stephens, speaking for the Mullis Community Senior Center, thanked all of the volunteers, saying that the Senior Center could not manage without volunteer support. She said, "Our volunteers truly are the heart-beat of our Senior Center. We are glad for this opportunity to give them our very heart-felt, thank you with a Valentine rose!"

While this event was proceeding, a bulldozer was working on a huge pile of dirt to create another entrance to the Senior Center. Last week a new well was drilled to provide water for the master garden.
