March 14 Senior Luncheon featured Cooking Demonstration

This past Friday we showed the movie "Julie & Julia" during the Senior Citizen Luncheon with the Arts at Croft Farm.  The luncheon was a little different than usual, as we had a special guest - Marianne Wilkins, a Cherry Hill Arts Board member and retired home economics teacher, who did a live cooking demonstration before the movie.  It was a lot of fun and there were samples of her Quinoa Pilaf for all in attendance. 






The next Luncheon with the Arts at Croft Farm features the movie "First Wives Club."  The luncheon will be held on Friday, April 11.  Tickets cost $5 ($8 at the door) and are still available.  For more information or to reserve your tickets, contact us at 856-488-7868 or email Arts@CHTownship.com.

Senior Luncheon features live cooking demonstration!

Seniors 55 and older are invited to enjoy the screening of Julie & Julia on March 14 as part of the Luncheon with the Arts for Seniors series at Croft Farm (100 Bortons Mill Rd.).

A sandwich and tossed salad lunch will be served before the movie and a live cooking demonstration will take place during lunch.
 
Tickets cost $5 ($8 on 3/14/14) and can be purchased at the Recreation Department (room 102, 820 Mercer Street) or by completing this form and mailing it to the Recreation Department.   Any questions, please call 856-488-7868 or email Arts@CHTownship.com.  Tickets do sell out so please purchase one today.
