The JuniorSeniors are a very loosely organized--by design--group of folks, all of whom are approximately retirement age, whatever that is, who meet once a month at the Piccadilly Cafeteria on Murfreesboro Road to eat, have a good time with friends and guests, and enjoy an interesting program. Our programs encompass a wide range of topics from gardening to antiques to history to practical matters, such as estate planning and financial advice, to spiritual topics such as reports from mission trips. The JuniorSeniors have been growing in recent years, and we're hoping Piccadilly will make us a larger room. The meeting of this group is a highlight of our month. Some of our best programs in recent years have been our own church members discussing their professions. We've had lawyers, TV and radio personalities, authors and business pros. The meetings are on the fourth Thursday each month. We eat starting at 5 p.m., get the program going around 6 p.m. and are gone by 7 p.m. Twice a year--in April and September--we have a banquet meeting in Fellowship Hall. If you would like more information, please call me at 664-6051.
