Shortcake time

Come on back in the morning for the center’s famous strawberry shortcake, featuring Remlinger Farms strawberries served over just-baked shortcake and topped with organic whipped cream. Cost is $5. Volunteers start serving at 10 a.m. and sell out every year, so don’t dawdle or you’ll have to wait a whole year!

The center holds the grand finale fundraiser drawing for the “Sunshine and Flowers” quilt at 2 p.m. Tickets are $1 each and will be on sale at the Senior Center and its thrift store, Re-in-Carnation.

All proceeds benefit the center, which is located at 4610 Stephens Ave.
