ALACHUA ‒ The Once-a-Month Potluck Bunch had their gathering last week at the Hathcock Community Center. Roughly 40 local seniors contributed a dish for whoever wanted to attend.
Following their weekly bingo event, local resident and active community member and lifelong resident Ella Thomas suggested a great way for a gathering for family and friends to break bread and meet for a monthly potluck. She requested each member of the Hathcock Community Senior Center provide a different dish, leading to a wide array of delights and opportunities to try new things.
Many of the members often bring their signature dish to showcase their culinary skills. Sharing meals is a powerful way to connect with neighbors, strengthen relationships and foster a sense of belonging. The next potluck event will be July 30 at the City of Alachua’s Hathcock Community Center at 15818 N.W. 140th Street, Alachua. Everyone is invited. Those interested in participating should connect with Ella Thomas at Ellathomas26@yahoo.com.
Legacy Adventure Summer Camp is off and running. Roughly 200 kids from the Alachua area have been participating in many fun activities such as creating sublimation keychains, making clear snap pouches and learning to play the guitar. Other activities were provided like kickball, flag football and walks in the Legacy Park Nature Trail.
Coming up are a visit to the Santa Fe Canoe Outpost Catfish Hole, creative sewing by Crafty Gemini, acting classes by Vice Mayor of High Springs Andrew Miller and his production company I am Production, dance instructions being taught by our local Momentum Arts Academy, and disc golf lessons hosted by the Gainesville/Alachua Chain Hawks.
The City of Alachua Recreation and Culture Department is still accepting applications. For more information, contact the department at 386-462-1540.
