The Laboratory Retiree Group (LRG) wishes to notify all of its White Rock and Los Alamos members of a new place to eat lunch in White Rock. The newly renovated White Rock Senior Center (WRSC) now serves lunch on weekdays from 11:30 to 12:30.

The WRSC is open from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Reservations for lunch are necessary and may be made before 10:00 a.m. for lunch any weekday by calling 672-2034, or by signing up for future lunches at the sign-in computer in the main building located at 133 Longview Drive.

The lunches are $4.00 for persons over 60 or $7.50 for persons under 60. The lunches include the meat or fish entre with vegetables, salad bar, drink, and a fruit or pudding dessert.

If you do not yet belong to the Senior Center, there is no cost to join.

I hope you will consider taking advantage of the WRSC lunches, as well as its other activities.
